Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Most people, including politicians, aren't complete ghouls immune to social pressure. Depending on where you live, your local representative probably doesn't get "fuck you" money from lobbyists and actually has to live in the community they represent. They're probably just a normal person, and normal people don't do well with getting yelled at. The US government isn't a monolith.
Good point. I really should be bullying my local politicians more to be honest.
My local politician isn't even a local politician she lives 2 hours away from the district she represents ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhaahhaahhaahhahahahahahaahahhaahhaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
