Not if combined with a Senate and Presidential veto. I agree that it's not clear that direct citizen vote is superior to Representative vote. Though given the low caliber of HoR debate and their lack of party independence (and their historical lack of accountability to serve all their constituents), I believe direct vote should be considered.
Perhaps changes to law like 1) a voter calibration test to demonstrate sufficient understanding of issues (thereby scaling the value of your vote up/down) combined with 2) restrictions on corporate/lobby media ads to manipulate voters could produce better results than the HoRs? Also worth discussion, IMO.
People forget, or don't know, that the founders had experience building lots of democracies of many types in towns, counties, and colonies/states leading up to the American Revolution. These people had more practical direct experience than anyone before or since. It behooves all of us to study what came before, only then can real improvements be made and insight gained.
