Edit: There are definitely some situations in which calling your representatives is not a bad idea, but generally speaking, they have no reason (from a class perspective) to follow the will of the proletariat, so it is not as effective as liberals often portray it as.

Yeah I mean, your mileage may vary, depending on who your reps are and what capitalist country you're in. But if you're at the point where the state is accustomed to wantonly murdering people without consequence and is looking into ways they can automate assassination of opposition, some bougie reps aren't going to put their lives and careers on the line to oppose it. They benefit far too much from it to see that as worth the time and energy, not to mention the risk. As it is, what do we see with, like, democrat leaders in the US and ICE? "Oh, they need to be better regulated" kind of language. It's absurd. In essence, liberals want a well-regulated doomsday machine. They aren't so much afraid of barbaric policy as they are afraid of barbaric policy targeting them too.
