    Nobody should just have 300 million available in spending money that they can throw at politics.

      When spending money determines who wins or loses an election or political career … why keep referring to it as a democracy.

      A political system that runs on money is known as a plutocracy and a system that runs on the power of a few wealthy people is known as an oligarchy.

      Whatever this system is now … it definitely does not run on the will of the people … which is what democracy is.

      When dozens of billionaires are funding your operation, that much money makes sense. However, Trump constantly lies about everything and Kamala announced a few hundred million raised in the first week she began her campaign so he’s most likely trying to sound just popular as her by saying he also has a lot of money.

      Campaign finance reform now!
