This is so ridiculously false i don't know where to begin. It's mostly something people who are too lazy to try anything effective tell themselves to make them feel better about doing nothing.

It's not all out of your hands and in the hands of "big money" or whatever boogeyman of the day is.

Not just big money but also dark money. We don't even know half of the organizations and individuals that our representatives are beholden to.

But feel free to state your case for why outsized spending on political influence is a good and/or neutral thing for society.
