I'll never understand how lobbying became a thing. It should have been shut down as anti democracy the second it was proposed
I also can't understand lobbying. To me, a non-US person, it just seems like legalized corruption.
Because that's exactly what it is. It's a way for the rich to force the policies they want while quelching any policies they don't.
A shocking number of our laws are written by lobbyist. Like you can't import foreign cars unless they're the exact model sold in the US or over 25 years old, because of anti competive laws created by automotive lobby's.
It doesn't only happen in the US
