Maybe they think that doing anything but is undemocratic/undermines institutions or something.

Or maybe they’re an ancap and think that the only way is to shoot a mctactical nuke into the privatized former public service.

or a weirdo postmodernist “actually petitions legitimize the state by creating a discourse that implies they listen to the citizens which makes them an oppressive form of biopower.”

6 % of people think it is unacceptable to call your representative. Half of those think it is not just usually, but always unacceptable.

I think it is fine so long as you just snicker and hang up whenever they answer the phone. You can also ask them if their refrigerator is running.
