I still can't comprehend why American just accepting that "lobbyists" are a normal thing.
Isn't that literally bribery in broad daylight to influence laws making decisions? And the fact that a corporate can "sponsor" politicians. You're supposed to making those laws to keep the corporate in line, not taking their handout.
Are there any other countries with the same "lobbying" practice?
