The kind of beliefs that get discussed in the evening news might be primitive. The tax code that made up of thousands of sites of legal writing is very far from primitive and developing opinions about how to change it in a way that's actually an improvement is not trivial and it takes an expert to explain to you what the different provisions actually do.
Obama care is 33,000 pages. It's very complex and far from primitive.
Don't confuse political beliefs used for signaling tribalism with political beliefs about public policy. A lobbyist is interested in policy.
