If someone won $500,000,000 in the lottery, what would be the most effective way to spend it to change the political situation in America?

Edit: Asking for a friend. Also; as much as I appreciate the violent suggestions, I’m thinking more positively focused.

    There is no such thing as a one party system. I think the word you’re looking for is “dictatorship”.

    People seem to want to have more choice, but what they really need to do is choose better.

    When I hear “our family always votes…”, that’s where democracy is failed.

      Whatever you call it, it’s the most efficient way to move a country in a single direction and stick to it, if that’s what’s important.

        Wow. You really don’t care to understand a point other than your own. You want to pivot anyone else’s opinion to meaninglessness, and so I don’t see a need to reply further to a one-note-mentality as yours. Enjoy your holidays and goodbye.

          You’re saying that choice isn’t good and that people need to choose better (perhaps choosing more like you?). Skip the pretense and only have one choice.

            I mean, the theoretically best system is a benevolent and wise dictator.

              Name one in the modern time.

              The guy before me keeps changing my position to secure his point, but no - more isn’t any better than no choice. We have to choose for people with a plan, not a platform, and one that works for all of us and not at the expense of any of us (because one day they’ll come for you).

                Regardless of the number of choices that we appear to have, it doesn’t matter if the real choices are ultimately made through other means (e.g. lobbyists in the US).
