@QueenOfEverything Campaign finance is such a waste. A company shouldn't be able to buy representation. Our politics have become way overpriced and it all needs to change.
The other half of this issue is that American elections are now 4 years long, and that costs multiple fortunes. Let's have federal funding for national elections, extremely strict campaign funding laws for states, and 3 months for elections.
@QueenOfEverything that sounds sane and reasonable. Is it possible to do?
Anything is possible. There's nothing in the Constitution that says billionaires can take over candidates & elections, and that we should spend billions of videos, hundreds of rallies, year round campaigning from one election to the next...
After this unbelievable experience, it's TIME to really look at our Election laws.
@QueenOfEverything no other country spends so much for what most citizens consider mediocrity.
@altucker All the big companies that care about profit over people are donating to politicians that they think will help them make profit at the expense of people.
That's what they want when they donate to Democrats, as well as Republicans.
Think about that the next time Bloomberg dumps millions into "our hero"'s war chest.
@altucker
I did not know DoorDash was a hardline anti-abortion Republican supporter.
It would be a lot easier to END all political donations and have federally funded elections with set amount for all candidates.
Businesses & corporations & billionaires should not be buying our elections.
