If the politicians are bought out by evil DoorDash's lobbying, why don't the voters just vote the politicians out? Do you have any evidence of a politician voting against their constituents' interests for personal gain?

Ignoring the easy second line, the answer to the first line is: we have two political parties in the US. What if neither are doing what the voters want?

You have to be kidding.

In the current US political system, the hard part would be finding examples of a politician doing anything but.
