Money in politics is the cancer underlying all the other cancers; getting money out of politics is the greatest moral challenge of our generation. Nothing is more important than that we push for public funding of federal campaigns. The system as it is is irredeemable.

As someone who has seen federal funding campaigns first hand in another country, let me say that it is not very nice to see your taxes spent in TV ads instead of basic needs. We just need to overturn Citizens United.

True story

If it wasn't money it would be gifts or favors or just networking, and if you could ban every possible form of coercion it would be unspoken promises of future compensation (already largely is for some). The problem is concentrated private power.

Which is why you endorsed Joe Biden, who was openly supported by almost 150 billionaires.
