For US democracy replace "voters" with "lobbyists"


Voters and lobbyists are the same thing. Regularly telling your elected hire what to do is the onus on all participants in a representative system. The employee you hired isn't a mind reader.

The only reason we imagine that there is a distinction is because most voters are too lazy to talk to the person they hired, so those who do stand out.


> Voters and lobbyists are the same thing

one is a large corporation with money paying for access and favors, the other is a regular person who votes. Absolutely absurd.


You may be thinking of a specific lobbyist, but that specificity is now only being introduced in your comment. It does not apply to comments that came earlier.

It remains that the system of government in the US expects regular lobbying from all voters. Without other qualifiers, lobbyists and voters are the same thing.
