It's funny how a few years ago we had a mixing of votes over this same issue. The real problem here is the lobbyists just rolled some cash out and with both parties acting like retards by voting down the line we get shoveled shit like this. We need money out of politics!

In democracy, money == politics.

In a better democracy, this corruption would be illegal.

Actually, persuasion == politics. When degeneracy rules the nation, money is all it takes to buy peoples opinions, which includes the voters that are bought by promises of other people's money. A thousand times, the people have sacrificed their rights for something illusory and usually, stolen goods, so counter-persuasion against the large-scale opinion forming press is how you actually fight "money in politics".
Asking politicians to stop selling themselves is unlikely to succeed, while we could be more informed about what we demand and expect from politicians we do help elect. Asking corporate/globalist news outlets to stop selling themselves is unlikely to succeed, while we could stop consuming their product and financially support truthful news outlets which change the opinion and worldview landscape and enable us to actually work on real problems, as opposed to the created crises that we are usually chasing after. These things are harder than saying "get money out of politics" though, and I'm not saying I live up to this, but I think these are real solutions in part.

That is every form and actual instance of government, ever.
