Changing votes won't solve the problem in America's two-party system. It needs serious election reform not just in donations but also in how the election works.
I think the first step is to changing voting system so that it isn't possible to have spoiler candidates or "throw away" your vote. Of course it'll probably be 20-30 years before that happens.
IMO the solution is at least releated to ranked choice voting, where people can vote for people that will never win (at least this time around) without their vote becoming meaningless.
If you're in BC (probably) then you need to look a little further back. The reason we have the BC Liberals (aka Conservatives) is because the NDP (socdems) won on FPTP and the Libs and Cons merged. Voting 3rd party is why we are the only province in Canada with a vaccine passport.
I fully expect the Greens to win eventually. BCers will vote their conscience, everybody else be damned.
Yeah, considering the amount of money needed to be known and collect votes i guess it's either the government starting to fund campaigns and disallowing corporate donation or i see it as very hard to change that
If anyone is going to save public sector from private, it's gonna have to be good-actors in private sector.
Public sector is long, long, long beyond corrupted. The only way forwards is to carefully migrate away from the infested wreckage into something built from the ground up.
It's like a code-base that's been hacked mercilessly, and was written in a dead language to boot.
Average citizens don't have the money needed to fight big corporate lawyers.
FTC, FCC, SEC, etc are all neutered in will and in budget.
Will nobody rid us of a corrupt collusion between government and corporation?
