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.
