What do you know about what ppl like? The car-centric infrastructure wasn’t built because a thousand would-be-drivers (consumers) voted for it and it won’t be changed to something else because a thousand reluctant drivers vote against it. People can “ask” all they want but like you reference the politicians’ phone lines are probably busy with the people they actually work for. And politicians do like their money but it’s not fundamentally so frivolous. You can try to not get millions in funding from some industry or other but good look in the election when the other candidates invests hundreds of thousands in attack ads against you. Which you won’t be able to do even if you wanted to because you have no money. Politicians are greedy and corrupt but that’s because the system selects for that. Ultimately you can say that the ppl do not want change hard enough to dedicate hours a week to work for the issues that you so easily list in a comment and then dismiss as impossible because ppl apparently do not want it. But that’s not a revealed preference for the status quo. You cannot make that conclusion.
