People who engage lawmakers and public officials have a chance of shaping policy. Doing so is using the system as it's designed, so unless you have some specific criticism about the legitimacy of policy that came out of that engagement, it's not really clear to me how you could make a reasonable claim that will "make the world worse." Generally speaking, the major problem isn't that some people do this (though some do in bad faith). The larger problem is that most people don't (and even fewer do so as concrete problem solvers).
