"And fight to break up Big Tech so you’re not powerful enough to heckle senators with snotty tweets."
It makes her sound like an entitled senator princess. After reading it several times,
I think she was actually trying to make a joke. That only makes sense as a joke if she considers herself as one of the little people, not as one of the most powerful people in the country. She is firmly in the 1%.
She is your elected representative. By heckling her Amazon is mocking you, and how powerless you are to make tax rules that big corporations have to follow.
In a democracy you are in charge, via your representatives. Corporations are supposed to operate at your pleasure, under your rules. Amazon is saying that they have taken over and subverted your democracy.
That's not how the US works. She is an elected representative, but she is not my elected representative. She represents the great state of Massachusetts.
My representatives in the senate are Feinstein and Padilla.
My representative in the senate used to be Richard Lugar. When I first moved here and voted in my first election, it was staggering to discover that Lugar ran for Senate UNOPPOSED. He was the only candidate on the ballot, no Democratic candidate even bothered to run. I remember how weird that seemed at the time. Then he was primaried as a RINO a number of years ago and a Democratic senator was elected.
