Are you arguing for direct democracy? Cause I don't even know how that would work.

Voting for issues? We've had to vote for issues in my country in the past, specifically gun laws. People voted in favor of banning guns. It feels more impactful when you know your vote will directly correlate to a result, and compels people to discuss and think about their vote, and also to go vote. Voting for a politician is voting for the chance that the things you want them to do will actually be done. We could have legislators, professionals, responsible for writing legislation for certain issues, and people could read and vote. We could regionalize and localize politics even further, where each small local community should decide certain questions that pertain to their own community themselves. And leave less stuff to be solved at national level.
