    Isn’t that how all laws work?

    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).

      Assuming you voted, then you most likely did in fact vote for those things.

      America has 2 parties. How does anyone expect to reflect all the different opinions of millions of people like that?
