We should have total public funding of federal campaigns. That is the only way to get the dark money out of politics. As president that will be my first piece of legislation to submit because the undue influence of money on our politics is the cancer underlying all other cancers.

How do you determine who gets public funding? People without much name recognition like you and Yang probably would have a harder time getting it, no?

not sure if we should publically fund primaries. fuck the dnc and gop
It's easy to see how this applies to fundraising, but how would this apply to a self-funded candidate like Mayor Bloomberg?

The reason people are so cynical and apophatic is because dark money and big corporate donors buy elections. Our democracy is no longer working for the people. #DemocracyMatters #EndCitizensUnited #Democracy911

That would force taxpayers to support candidates whom they despise. Unconstitutional, as campaign funding is speech.
