I see your point. But if it’s advocating for a good cause to influence politics, what should it be called to avoid the negative connotations associated with lobbying? I might sound like I am splitting hairs, but if lobbying is to be banned because of bad faith actors, then it leads to the slippery slope of also banning advocacy for a good cause. This is ultimately an ontological debate and maybe even coin a new word to describe “good lobbying” to separate it from bad lobbying".
