Yeah it's ridiculous how we have allowed the mega-rich to in essence buy the country. Lobbying needs to be outlawed and considered criminal with penalties to match. And any politician shown to be receiving illicit favors from any outside entities needs to be immediately removed, banned from any federal office for the remainder of their lives and jailed for 2 years. Stop letting mega-rich individuals and giant corporations buy off our politicians.
Yet you support Kamala? She is the candidate for the mega wealthy! She was literally selected without receiving one vote from regular tax paying citizens. She has been bought and paid for from billionaire delegates. She is currently doing nothing to help anyone while in office and she is the candidate that democrats still for some reason choose to support.
Sanders wants to do publically funded campaigns. I think it's a good idea. But uh oh! Taxes!
I'd rather have this than the rich buying off politicians.
Not quite. It's "But uh oh! The First Amendment!"

Gotta start somewhere. Can't just keep throwing our arms up and acting like we can't do anything. Yeah it won't change anything overnight but then again nothing will.
