    You sound like you’ve never called or written to your representative or their office, or dealt with a local campaign office. Because what I describe is true, and what you describe is you declaring to the world, “I’m choosing to make myself irrelevant to everyone.”

      I call my Senators and my rep all the time. I tell them I’m a voter in my district and I care about X. They’ve never once asked me if I voted for them or how much money I gave them.

        I wonder who represents you. I don’t get blown off my my reps. And I don’t donate a ton of money, but I do volunteer.
