it seems there’s got to be something to limit donations to actual people. otherwise, pacs will just setup subsidiaries in every district.
alternatively, significantly limit how campaign money can be spent: a tiny window for campaigning, limited tv ads, equal time for qualifying candidates, a media blackout around election day, everybody pays into a pool…
the concepts that money is speech, corporations are people, and that political spending cant be restricted… it’s all toxic.
( and i can’t imagine any of it’s satisfying to the politicians themselves. all of whom wind spending most of their career on the phone begging for money. )
