Yes, I do. Unfortunately, negotiating with people you don't agree with- even STRONGLY so- is an essential part of political discourse. [She points to Usagi's fist.] Frustration is natural, but that is unacceptable, and can even be dangerous in the right circumstances. What if you find yourself needing to discuss matters with a people's leader a hair's breadth from declaring war on yours? You need to remember that this isn't just about you and them, Usagi Tsukino: you have been chosen to represent the well being and safety of someone who cannot do so themselves. In that chamber, you're not talking for yourself but for them.
