Do you still vote for them? That's the only message that matters.
- labster 3y agoThat’s simply not true. Politicians are human and like to be liked; they also like to feel good about helping constituents. Lobbying actually works — why else would corporations spend so much money doing it? Voting is the absolute minimum participation you have in democracy. It works about as well as shooting for a minimum passing grade. Democracies require the people to actually participate, like the word itself implies.
