Robert Bigelow, who has donated $20 million to a pro-DeSantis PAC, said the governor won’t get another cent until major changes are made by his campaign
So what’s the alternative? They didn’t donate to a politician. They basically pledged 20 million to separately run pro desantis content. Desantis has no control over what that money gets spent on, unless he’s breaking the law.
The alternative is to not allow people to publish books, or blogs, or articles, or write signs. Because all those things cost money
Well you see, it might surprise you that a world exists outside of the US. A world with many examples of democracies that do not allow unrestricted donations. And guess what, democracy still happens when politicians don’t take millions from single individuals to “write signs”.
Why can anyone donate 20 million to a politician? That kind of completely undemocratic shit should be straight up outlawed.
It was, but Citizens United.
