And they're completely free to completely ignore you because they're not democratically elected officials.

I mean, elected officials can ignore you too. The point is to get your voice out there because complaining on Reddit isn't gonna do anything.

And if they are still ignoring you, well that means you're easy to ignore. You gonna have to build a small movement. Having a petition signed by ppl locally usually gets their attention.
