I’m going to go all npub1a0r2fp7mmhf8zsue7l6vgqefm202vwcs8fe2hjm2yd4ryvu8p0vsxp0dgm (npub1a0r…0dgm) for a moment: US elections should be publicly financed.
Every voting-age citizen gets $100 a year from the federal government to apportion to any candidate, issue, or PAC.
Candidates/campaigns/PACs can then privately raise matching funds up to the amount of public funds received. No more money can be spent in an election.
$33B/year (max) is a small price to pay to protect democracy from the corruption of campaign financing.
