It's not "just speech."If our election like a lottery we give the wealthy extra tickets to influence outcomes, and policy. #plutocratsunitedhttps://twitter.com/mateagold/status/783719830448898049 …

@mateagold@washingtonpost But an election isn't a lottery. As we've seen this yr, all the money in the world (1) -
won't compensate for the wrong candidate, the wrong message or the wrong time (2)
-
and won't make voters vote for a candidate they just don't like or turn on one they love. (3)
-
So we should give voters more credit. They're not board game tokens, manipulated by Dark Money. (4)
