Either way, a successfully advocated fringe issue that wins the popular vote is still not binding on our legislators. They're empowered to act contrary to popular demand (to prevent inequality, corruption, panic changes...etc.); so, it's cost effective to put the big money into backing the right candidates rather than swaying the court of public opinion. There's little consequence for a legislator bucking the trend on a fringe issue.
