      ITT: people so used to lobbying that they got convinced it’s a necessary evil so that minorities and common folks can lobby as well.

      It’s clearly absurd. Many places call lobbying with its real name: corruption. And there are laws in place to fight it. Are they perfect? No. Is it then more effective to legalyze corruption? OF COURSE NOT ARE YOU INSANE?!?

        Lobbying isn’t the same as corruption.

        Lobbying is informing politicians about an issue while pushing your agenda.

        Corruption is giving a politician an incentive to vote as you want.
