Can I democratically elect who will represent me in a Silicon Valley company? If not, I'm going to choose my own country.

I am aware that citizens of more repressive governments might not make the same choice.

Because of both the electoral college and two Senator per state. If you live in a more populous state, your vote is worth a lot less than someone in Middle of Nowhere Nebraska.

Passing laws is fine as long as your side is in power to enforce them the way that you like.

What choice? Repressive governments typically have minimal difficulty getting Silicon Valley to repress their subjects on their behalf.
