    In normal democracies donations are capped to like $100 a year.

    In Canada we have conspiracies about wealthy and powerful elites using lots of individuals to max out donations… and even that would only get them 5 figure or low 6 figure donations. lol

      I wish that was true.

      In the UK we’re trying to convince our government to cap donations, but all they’re interested in doing is limit who can donate. Basically the want to limit the donations to other “bad” parties but not their own donations.

      I believe Germany are having similar problems.
