As you can see, she says, "This is not an attempt to ban TikTok. It's an attempt to make TikTok better. Tic-tac-toe. A winner. A winner."

But most people are like, "What the hell are they even doing in Congress anymore?!"

This person said, "not a single human under the age of 50 in that room, i promise you that."

"Every day, politicians continue to stupefy me with how out-of-touch and fundamentally useless they are," another person said.

The overall sentiment is that of surprise: "These are the people that make major decisions for us as a country."

The bill will now go to the Senate, where its future is up in the air.

*Probably nothing.
