I’m kind of confused by what you mean by non-democratic? Lobbyists talk to democratically elected representatives who vote on issues. Unless you’re talking about trying to change policy by influencing executive orders? Or only using ballot initiatives?
Legal challenges that go through the courts are also “non-democratic” in that they aren’t decided by majority vote, right? But they’re part of the system of checks and balances, and sometimes that’s an important route to make progress.
