So political campaigns are a pretty big deal in the United States. For instance the 2012 presidential election clocked in at the most expensive ever – at around $6 …
No… there bribes, let's stop speaking "legally " and start calling ducks ducks, dogs dogs and bribes BRIBES.
Public financing of elections and do away with superPACs and i would say private donations altogether….have debates on public television free of corporate advertisements (which inherently come with corporate bias) make attendance on first come first serve open to the public without price of admission. (Its not surprising at all that a room full of people who could afford $1800/ ticket for the SC primary debate would boo the idea of raising taxes on the wealthy. have the debates formatted to give lengthy policy based answers and time to rebuttal…. have a multiple moderators from all over the political spectrum that ask follow up questions.
I still dont understand why campaigns need to raise hundreds of million of dollars for hotel rooms and flights….maybe a commerical here and there.. still things ain't adding up.
Just like the rest of the DNC/liberal mainstream media (aka propaganda mill), PBS has been corrupted by the democrats (aka liberals/globalists) so its info is unreliable. The lighthearted humor doesn't sufficiently disguise your misinformation. Why not do a video on how politicians get rich via donations running for office (e.g. Bernie Sanders and ALL of the others)? Wouldn't want to expose the truth, right?
So, if the donation goes to a "good cause", the donation can essentially be unlimited, and candidates can join these "good cause" organizations in order to receive more money per individual. Am I correct in my assumptions based on this video?
I see a lot of “money shouldn’t equal speech,” but the thing is that Political Speech is the MOST protected type of speech under the First Amendment. SCOTUS ruled to get rid of spending limitations because it infringed on freedom of political speech. Whether you believe this is good or not, it is a product of Judicial Activism and is how SCOTUS decided to interpret the Constitution.

These videos have taught me more about government in ten minutes than my government teacher has taught me in five week.

Love this! Thank you.
Only a small percentage of people donate to politicians, and a HUGE percentage of people buy chips. Not a good comparison
