        1. it’s systemic. There’s no representative democracy without some degree of corruption.
        2. People are alienated from politics: they think that it’s the politician’s job to do politics and disengage (until they feel they get screwed over)

            Exactly.

            So the only viable strategy (for system that’s screwing us over) is to make the people believe that “there is no alternative” to neoliberalism.

        Well yes because lobbying is an actual part of getting the message out to representatives. You’re advocating for them to do something. In itself there’s nothing wrong with lobbying but people just always associate it with quod pro quo corruption shit.
