This is coming off like a duel fought with flamethrowers in the middle of a drought-stricken conifer forest. Mixed schadenfreude and horror. I say, "bring it on," but I expect there will be events that even we will be appalled at.
Honest question as I've never given this any thought;
Would publicly-funded elections be any better?
Or rather:
What alternative is better than our current system, which has obviously become extraordinarily corrupt?
Assuming publicly funded elections are a viable alternative (the gov gives each candidate the same amount of taxpayer dollars to campaign) HOW would that system be open to corruption & what can we do to stave that off?
Don't know about you all, but I'm finding this chaos among the Dems delicious as popcorn and Diet Coke.
been telling this to everyone who will listen for the past week. they're usually like 'yeah it's great but AAAARRGGHH!!'
But, but the new 538 poll shows Joey winning by 3 points.
Must include voter fraud in it's calculation
We are quite literally watching the destruction of the demonrats in real time. Q even told us it was going to happen.
popcorn munching intensifies

it is becoming quite entertaining
Change of batter predicted years ago.
Pass the popcorn please
This. Money talks, and it's the only way they'll be able to take ol' Joe out.
Biden won't be there Monday!
I don't understand why donations are even allowed in our elections.
Trump is just as bad, he's getting millions from rich jews and there is a price to be paid. It is a transaction - I give you this - you get me this!
It all sounds obviously illegal to me and every election is worse.

Every candidate gets x amount of public money. The same amount. No private money. No donations.
