All democracies are flawed. There is no perfect government except in the minds of tyrants.
LOL. Keep deluding yourself. There are 25 countries less flawed than ours.

As you can tell, it's news to many people.
What would a direct democracy of a country this size even look like?

What does the label matter? Look around to see what decisions are being made, by whom, and on whose behalf. That will tell you how we’re actually governed. If you’re asking how we ought to be governed, the answer is that opinions vary.

The founding fathers didn’t believe in direct democracy.
They think that could turn into tyranny of the majority.
I will say we are a constitutional federal republic with representative democracy.

At a federal level, the US is a democracy in the form of a republic. We elected representatives to make policy on behalf of constituents.
At the state level, it’s a mix. For example, California - like Switzerland - allows citizens to directly vote on policy matters in addition to electing representatives and an executive (Governor).
Other states are purely representative democracy and do not allow any local initiative voting.

It’s a plutocratic oligarchy.

Overwhelmingly representative with some direct elements at the state and local level.
