It sounds like we need to crowdfund the creation of a Private Military Company. We'll need a good name for it.
"Citizens United"
Guillotines are speech
Citizens' United Military makes for a nice acronym

Why not crowd fund your own lobbyist and think tank. Do what the rich do.
Think tanks create a strategy. They suggest/create bills in your interest. They tell you what politicians to target. Think tanks are filled with statistician and lawyers who build portfolios for how to accomplish what you want. Its polls and research and statistics that show why your goal is good.
Hand the package to lobbyist who target those politician and start pushing change the way it is supposed to occur. Keep your issue in front of the politician. Show them through your research that if they pass and fight for (x) that they will stay in power or gain popularity and it will benefit the country.
Or call them Nazis and throw food at works of art. Not sure the best route.
Its crazy to me people think they can more easily convince people to burn their work days up protesting in streets than just donating $50 to the fight

I knew I had heard this before
Where do we donate that $50 right now?
I think that's part of the problem too. No one knows an effective method to follow through with, or if they do find one it's more often than not, not the same one "I" chose.
Let's get a twitch streamer lol
What about it is corrupt
That is a bribe. That isn't what lobbying is exclusively. Lobbying is bringing your issue to politician to influence them to fight for you. Corrupt lobbyist will bribe to influence the politician. But you're mixing up a subset of what it is with the whole. Lobbying is what groups fighting for abortion rights and civil action do every day. Tobacco lobbyist or your local wealthy family greasing wheels should dismay you from participating in it.
No, a bribe is an illegal form of lobbying. It is not lobbying.
If you can't agree, I can give you examples of lobbying that is not bribery. and if you can't understanding that then you're not reasonable and just a time vampire
That's how you actually get assassinated.
Ok ok ok so then let's put it on the blockchain. Nobody in charge, "assassination politics".
