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.

I finally agree with you.

The brilliance of @AndrewYang UBI is it would convince & energize the massive block of non-voters in America that government can make a difference in our lives. This would create the political momentum & support needed to pass Democracy Dollars & flush out the corporate greed!

Neither current political party is going to do this. We need a legit third party in power in order to remove money from politics.

Yet another failing of a capitalist system.

Correct

Neither party will do jack to get $$$ of politics, so don't humor yourself. Need a whole new party/paradigm for any chance to do so.

There is no such thing as "moneyless politics" as long as the 1% have their massive power and wealth. If we want politics free of their influence, we must get rid of them.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Capitalism's tendency towards wealth concentration leads inevitably to money influencing politics. It's an inherent consequence of the system.
