“We are no longer a functioning democracy when $$$$ gets to talk more than we do. Legislation that establishes public funding for federal campaigns should be the battle cry of our generation.” Marianne Williamsonpic.twitter.com/Vg9gMxF1Sv
With two billionaires (both nice people, actually) spending tens of millions of dollars on TV ads, it’s time for Americans to ask whether we think the presidency should be so easily bought. If this assault on our democracy doesn’t call for a non-violent revolution then what does?

It hasn't be-come this way, it's always been. Only people with money have the resources to put in the time away from family obligations let alone the money to gain attention. Any person who needs to work to feed their family can't focus on politics. You can't vote that away.

So true.

More have done within our system that works against a true, democratic system. Just ask

Hillary spent double of what Trump did & still lost. In the digital age, the game is changed. That’s why they’re rigging the Internet. Let’s chat over Kombucha sometime.

Clinton was the 1st BILLION DOLLAR CANDIDATE. Mueller wants us to believe $100K spent by Russians on Facebook defeated her.

It’s already being bought. This is just out in the open vs dark $. I want structural change for election funding. Corp interests and giant donations need to get out of our elections. It’s obscene the amt of $ that goes into elections, esp since only one person actually wins.

Really like Yangs restore democracy strategy with Democracy Dollars washing out big money, ranked choice voting, automatic voter registration and increasing accessibility etc. I think it’s a god start and the best feasible options we have on the table right now. - 1 more reply
