      Kind of lacks the nuance of a House of 435 Representatives and Senate of 100 who write, amend, vote, rewrite, vote again, discuss, and vote a third time with a majority or sometimes even a 2/3rd majority in order to pass laws. All of this in one of the most politically polarized times in history.

      You don’t need to have more sway than the whole of congress. You just need to convince like 80 people and then nothing will ever get done again.
