I don’t want to choose a proxy, I want a direct say. The only person I want representing me, is me.
Anything less is simply lipstick on a pig.

You don't have to, that's the entire point of the proxy; it's for people who can't/don't want to vote on every single issue. Clearly you're not one of these people so there's no actual issue here, you're just arguing for argument's sake.
Ok then? Do that. But why should your preference to do it that way dictate how everyone must do it?
That is actually what was proposed by the candidate @Zagorath@aussie.zone was referring to.
No different to the potential for the same problem today in representative elections.
