I don’t think tiered representation is bad if 1: every person’s vote is equal regardless of zip code 2: you have instant recall and can just have a representative replaced if they vote against their constituency wishes.

Instant recall would be huge in the US. People here have extremely short memories.

That’s just direct elections with extra steps.

  No, because the lowest-level voter typically has less direct knowledge of higher level politician or policy than the guy who has to work with them.

    You’re just saying the extra steps are justified, not that they don’t exist. Which is hogwash, of course. Indirect elections where the intermediate can choose the candidate regardless of people’s choice is just regulated election fraud.
