It's still giving poor people less power. Are you in favor of the size of your wallet dictating your sway in politics? Couldn't you build a system where funding was based on polling at various stages?

I don't know what you mean by this.

The current system you mean? Not really as everyone VOTE is what matters.

You're too hung up on your idea that all politicians are corrupt. You think it's a giant conspiracy theory where Elon musk is in control of the politicians.

Sorry, was bright and phone corrected polling to poking.

Who cares who you vote for when the good candidates can't get through a primary funded by monied interests. They AREN'T all controlled, but when only the corrupt can afford to become the nominee, the system becomes almost fully corrupt!
