Which they would have to do since candidates would be hounding them for their votes 24/7...I believe that public campaign financing would result in much better governance because those politicians would have to actually produce for their constituents or not get re-elected...which means instead of attending fundraisers in wine caves, they would have to go out in public and face actual voters.

Instead of 1 town hall every six years, they have one every six days.

if money wasn't speech, then facing the jab or your job wouldn't be happening

Right, because everyone would be vaccinated because that's the sensible thing most people want.

Money is what is convincing people NOT TO GET VACCINATED, specifically the money spent propping up anti-vaxx positions and politicians on Fox News, Facebook, and elsewhere.

Right, as I said four times already, it's not going to be easy.

BUT you and I are in agreement about what the problem is and how it can be solved.

So that's a positive first step in a long, long marathon.

What is incorrect?

Most people in this country want everyone vaccinated.

Most people in this country ARE vaccinated.

So really man, you're fucking yourself over by not getting vaccinated because you're running the risk of dying from COVID, thereby removing your voice from our politics.

How much change do you think you can affect when you've got a tube shoved down your throat and another one up your dickhole?

your whole mindset is incorrect.......you can't argue on one subject that money isn't speech, then turn around and say it is on another..........it also takes away from any case you try to make by belittling those you're trying to influence, or displaying depraved indifference to them.

When did I say money is speech?

I didn't.

Employment is not money.

Employment EARNS money.

Employment is what is being terminated over a vaccination, not over money.

So I should coddle you?

HARD PASS.

Hospitals are overflowing with dying COVID patients, nearly all of whom are unvaccinated.

Believe it or not, I don't want you to be one of them.

yet you display an amazing amount of depraved indifference about it...........you also display an incredible lack of options concerning it........instead, you focus on one simple belief and that is that if you're unvaccinated, you're going to get sick and die......that simply is not true of everyone

LMAO!

You are going to catch COVID eventually if you are unvaccinated, and the chances that you'll survive it are high...but, there's a lot of asterisks there like long-haul COVID effects.

The GOP could not survive publicly-funded elections...and I'm not sure the Democratic Party would either.

I think what you would see is a splintering of those parties into dozens of new parties, and Congress would more resemble a Parliament where coalitions are forced to work together, all answerable to their voters instead of donors.

I beg to differ


The Republican Party would fade away

The remnants would cluster with right leaning independents


And two major parties would form


It may take a couple of years to shake out


But in this nations history we alway end up with two major parties


Things get done that way

Instead of ending up with everybody canceling each other’s ideas out through lack of consensus

the problem of getting money out of politics is never going to go away while the majority of our population remains dumbed down to such a level of stupid that they feel they have to vote D or R to keep the other side from 'destroying' our nation.......

The only way I see it happening is a Convention of states.

Congress voted themselves the keys to the country in the Carter/Reagan years and they will not willingly give it up.

The USA is so f*cked over with corruption that unless there is a massive boycott to bring the country to a halt until the money is pulled out of politics, things will only get progressively world. USA USA USA...the only industrialized cesspool to make government bribery, money laundering and insider trading legal. smfh

The only way to fix this is a Convention of States.

Congress is broken. They are the weak link. They will not vote against their own pockets.

4 things need addressed: Citizens United, term limits, insider trading, and lobbying.

‘Dark money’ topped $1 billion in 2020, largely boosting Democrats


The 2020 election saw more than $1 billion in “dark money” spending at the federal level, a massive sum driven by an explosion of secret donations boosting Democrats in a historically expensive cycle.

Biden’s presidential bid attracted around $174 million in support from anonymous donors, more than six times the $25.2 million in dark money contributions and spending boosting President Donald Trump’s unsuccessful re-election effort.

Which is why Biden won, the Democrats won the House, and then won the Senate two months later.

Do you think that your ideas could compete on a level playing field with liberal ideas? I don't, but I'd love to see for myself.

Public campaign financing would have meant Conservatives and Democrats got the same amount of money to campaign, so it would come down to whose ideas and policies are more popular.

I don't believe your ideas could win an election on a level playing field because your ideas and policies are terrible.
Click to expand...

The Republicans have had no policies to offer the average American. Just bull shit wedge issues to use as distractions from their lack of ideas and their sole purpose of funneling money upwards to the corporate masters and their catering to the radical crazies who prefer authoritarianism and a theocracy.
