Money should be entirely removed from campaigns, full stop. Run on C-span and other outlets. Re-run a series of speeches or debates over and over so everyone has a chance to see them, perhaps on youtube. Then we vote for the people with the best ideas, not those who raised the most money.
What an amazing joy that would be eh?
Well more than that. He clearly directed (and sometimes fraudulently, it could be argued) government expenditures to his own properties and would inflate the price.
There have always been limits to what individual candidates for election are allowed to spend during campaigns in the UK. Most candidates' expenditure falls well short of the limit. This seems fair, preventing rich candidates 'buying' votes. All candidates are allowed a free leaflet delivered in the post in order to make their election statement to all voters.
Well, that is good to know. Here, they raise obscene amounts of money that could be better spent on good causes. Then they tend to run negative ads about the OTHER guy, instead of tell us what YOU bring to the table in terms of ideas. So over it. It needs to be stopped.
Somebody has to do it. Trump didn't need money for his first run. We see how he was demonized on all fronts even before elected. The system is entrenched that money changes hands. That has to stop.
What do you mean? He took money for sure. He tossed in about 65million of his own money but raised 330million. Still, only half of what Clinton raised.
He was demonized due to his behaviours but not to keep that system in place.
People donated to him, but he didn't need it. The system is very much entrenched and needs to be uprooted.
But if he didn't need it, they why did he ask for it? Why is he selling funny looking NFTs
