It’s deciding that your representative cannot be swayed by protest.
Adorably naive. They're 'swayed' by donors, votes, and sometimes lawsuits. At best they'll give lip service to your protest.

democracy doesn’t and can’t depend on ‘swaying’ representatives, it depends on voting
Fucking hell, it depends on a hell of a lot more than voting. If you're not engaged in making your policy desires known then you're in no position to complain about how regrettable it is they're committing atrocities.
