    Everyone knows what you mean when you say that lobbying should be illegal.

    Could you explain?

      Probably the part where they’re straight-up bribing politicians to rubber stamp the garbage that ALEC writes.

      Lobbying as in “bribery with extra steps” where companies give money to politicians, ask them to do something, then say it’s ok because it’s “lobbying” and therefore not bribery, but people are coming in and pointing out how lobbying technically just means talking to politicians, but that’s not what RotatingParts meant.
