Whether money "rules" is a different issue than citizens being able to express their views by supporting candidates, parties, and groups with campaign contributions. Those do not involve any violations to our Constitution.
If money ruled Bloomberg and Steyer would be far in the lead for the Democratic nomination.
Can any amount of money spent by any candidate or cause deter you from voting Democratic in 2020? If not, money does not seem to rule you.

Whether they are spending their own or that of others, money does not seem to be buying much support in their cases. The adage that money buys votes has been disproven in many studies (and certainly by self-financed campaigns), but Americans like to think the rich and powerful rule the nation because we have been told that since youth and it provides good old populist campaign rhetoric. It also gives us excuses for anything not working as we think it should or it explains why others are poor.
That is why campaign finance laws aren't effective--they seek to cure problems that don't exist.
Very true, but challengers need money go acquire similar name recognition and to get out the message about the incumbent's poor record.

Shut up, countryboy: they are funding their own campaigns. Corporation money to bought candidates (the heart and soul of the GOP) is killing America.
Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.

I bet you wonder why no one in this country takes Democrats even remotely seriously anymore.Trump is a singularity of all time lying. For you to make a false equivalency means you need to rinse your pussy out
and go grab another sailor, you lying whore for Trump.

It doesnt remove money. When I say remove money I mean ALL of it.

With less than 1% of the population benefiting from their policies, getting stupid people to vote directly against their own best interests is an existential necessity for the Republican Party. That costs money, and it goes without saying that they'll take it from anybody.

I'm going to go on the assumption that no one on this board is in the top 1%. So with that what policies are in the best economic interest of the board's posters?

Universal healthcare, progressive labor laws, better education, a just peace, a clean environment, a more regulated private sector, a more comprehensive public sector, and just about everything Bernie and Liz are talking about...would be in the best interest of all of us on the forum.

If President Obama wanted to limit money in politics he wouldn't have been the first candidate in history to refuse federal funding for the general election.
McCain took federal funding and was limited to the $84 million total spending including state limits and could raise no outside funds. Obama refused federal funding and raised over $300 million for the general election alone ($750 million total).
So, he didn't do it because the Republicans were going to spend more but because Obama knew he could raise more than the Republicans.

Hello Flash,
This is not about me.
If money has no effect on votes then why does the USA spend 70 times the amount spent on the typical European election per campaign?
