Is modern democracy really "the will of the people"?

Democracy is that the sovereignty of the state is in the people. Modern democracy is where all citizens are equally involved in politics. However, it is difficult to ask the opinion of all the people in all matters. Therefore, we will choose a representative. People pick representatives who they think are in accord with, and delegates do politics on behalf of the people. Of course, the important part is that all the people give their opinions. However, the majority of the work will be handled by representatives and often contradicts the will of the people. In this case, the people can tell the delegates what they mean, but it doesn't work. Of course, like the last presidential impeachment, the nation's democracy seems to be well preserved. However, there are many areas where many people are feeling frustrated and distressed. However, it seems difficult for the representatives to resolve this issue. Is it true that a democratic society is a society in which many, not a few, are struggling? Is it right for the delegates to hear the voice of the people? I don't think the politics that the delegates are doing reflects the will of the people or the real democracy.
