What do you think about this? Responding to the best comments.
The really bizarre question is not that the most successful party, generally is the one who makes the most fundraising, but WHY they are. Indeed, how should simple fundraising, ad campaigns, "get out to vote" projects, etc, swing an election?
It is genuinely concerning how the general populace is overwhelmingly uneducated and dare I say, stupid, that a few shiny billboards and "shocking" ads are all it takes to sway their votes, regardless if either of these convey a genuine and legitimately accurate statement.
But to your point, the citizens united case was probably one of, if not the most important problem with election/campaign finance and it needs to be sent back to the courts, and overruled.
