Having read an article in the NYT's today I felt nauseous. The Hillary team is looking to raise this insane amount of $$$, OMG
If anyone thinks she is not and will not be beholding to an endless line of corporatists and fascist crazies then I have a bridge to sell you.
The shear thought of it is unsettling and certainly not something to be proud of. How about a true populist candidate that says;
I will not accept any donations from any source that exceeds $100, nor will I have a super pac or accept any financial support from any super pac
I know about now you all think I am crazy, maybe or maybe not. Imagine a campaign funded entirely by small donations online maybe averaging $50. The proper populist candidate (Warren) could achieve this. Imagine 20,000,000 people donating to change the world, and then voting.
There is a reason why American Idol was so successful when it hit the airwaves. By having the public getting involved in voting they became involved in the show. In this case by having the public donate to a candidate they know can not be bought by special interests, even if someone gives $5, they become involved.
This could not only create a populist president but populist down ticket wins as well.
This is what I mean by "We need to take our country back"
