Lobbying is a real problem, not so much that it happens, more so the fact that it is borderline impossible to get anything done without it.
This thing we call democracy seems to have been turned around.
Ideally it should not be that we the people go to the politicians to be heard, the politicians should come to us to understand what their mandate is, the fact that politicians lie to get into office to then do the thing they always wanted to do no matter what they got elected on is a perversion of we think we have.
Really it does not matter who you vote for, your vote doesn't even matter anyway. Only dollars matter, if you can pay money to their campaign you have some influence, otherwise you won't have any.
