> I would say more correctly the Republican Party was the one chosen by the lobbyist to take the heat for this anti consumer action.

You might say that, but not “more correctly”. While the action is anti-consumer, there are big business lobbyists on both sides, it's not big business lobbyists on one side and consumers on the other. And this is true of most issues with big business lobbying; it's the exception, rather than the rule, that big business has a unified interest.

You can't talk about “the lobbyist” as if there is only one, or many that act in coordination with a single will.

> The DNC and the GOP are just tools of the lobbyist to keep the people distracted , separated, and appeased to think they still have a voice.

I get how it might have seemed that way if you looked at a narrow range of big-picture economic-policy issues at the height of the 1990s neoliberal consensus, but that's not even approximately true.
