@alan@mindly.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr gotcha, I agree with that.
Mostly it's the money: Fundraising (other countries limit spending and give every candidate the same amount) and the worst is citizens United.

@madeingermany@mas.to @pluralistic@mamot.fr Yep, the erroneous Citizens United decision set the framework for the collapse of the American Empire and greased the rails to boot.
Congress could have passed laws to address the problem, but that would have ended their political careers, so nothing happened.
I just wish we weren't so damn close. there's going to be collateral damage.
