“Representative democracy” - representative of the control freak rich holding the purse-strings that have long financed the vast majority of election campaigns.
The best democracies in the world are also representative. That is not the problem, the problem is that USA instead of improving regulation to reign in capitalism, has chosen to allow it to run wild taking over elections, and hasn’t improved on the flawed FPP system.
Some places have ranked voting, and hopefully they will be pointers to the future, but there’s a long way from where USA is currently to having any chance of that.
I’m 100% in the ranked choice voting camp. And ideally, we’d find a way to do it proportionally but I acknowledge that would be a bit of a heavier lift within the current US framework, so I’d be happy with RCV as first step so we can work to elect folks that will help get the proportional aspect implemented.

And I also think we should have Democracy sausages! :) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_sausage)
