Or... any of many other options, than just more corruptible agents and assets.
I often imagine what it may be like with, not just adjustments to re-presentative democracy (like ranked choice voting, proportionate representation, etc), but even beyond direct democracy, even beyond liquid democracy, all the way to (what I call) config-democracy...
"Config-Democracy", where we each are free to input our say as elaborate (or as terse) as we want, updated when we want, as direct or deferring as we want. Where our "vote" is like a config file, not merely a single mark on a corrupted multiple choice. ... unless you want to vote like that still in config-democracy. You're free to. But I imagine everybody wants more say than that.
All kinds of facilitators can be developed for such. Heck, we even already have the likes of the political compass test, and the world's shortest political quiz, that for decades have already offered us better means to present our political philosophies. ... Funny how the crooks have not sought to implement that eh? Given how the spray of popular results show they'd be voted out of office the first day any such were implemented. ... Imagine that, huh? Real democracy, real organisation by the people, for the people.

We can still mend this.
