      Well yes because lobbying is an actual part of getting the message out to representatives. You’re advocating for them to do something. In itself there’s nothing wrong with lobbying but people just always associate it with quod pro quo corruption shit.

        Well, they are often involved or are around such deals, but the difference is that in USA the quid pro quo is perfectly legal & money can be exchanged openly (which is still corruption, but not legally so).
