I sure as hell didn't ask all of congress to come together to ban tiktok and send bombs to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

That argument seems flawed: In a democracy, even if the law was incorruptible, there would still be decisions that go against your beliefs. Simply because there are many people with different opinions.

A much better argument would be campaign donations or lobbying (at least in the form we currently have).
