    There’s an argument that lobbying is not corruption and helps people pass legislation that is important to them but I don’t know how to make it.

      Lobbying is just the act of sending someone that knows how to talk to a legislator to a legislator. Banning lobbying would effectively be banning citizens from speaking to politicians, and that’s objectively stupid. Right to repair advocate Louis Rossman has effectively used lobbying to get legislation passed in multiple states

        issue is that lobbying is often used as a cover for corruption
