The money is legitimate and openly contributed. If you’d like to change the laws I might agree with you. But it will need to be a change that applies to all politicians or congresscritters. And not just those that support USA national defense or that of our allies. And I’d suggest waiting just a bit — so our effort at changing the law doesn’t look like it’s favoring our enemies’ (like the Iranian mullahs) acquisition of the very nukes they’ve sworn they’ll attack us with, or just some sort of sicko antisemitic campaign in league with them. The idea would be to start campaigning by citing an outcome that is - or would be- bad. Like campaign contributions for more mass scale qbortions. Or contributions for free taxpayer- paid heroin “safe shooting- up” houses (thinking San Frsnsicko) or more raclsysr- paid sex chsnge operations on children, etc. And realistically it won’t be easy to get a Ben on political contributions. Congress certainly won’t agree. And the Supreme Court has ruled that political contributions are a protected liberty under the US Constitution.
Wouldn’t be great if campaign contributions could only come from individual citizens who are constituents of the person running. Senators could take donations from any citizen in their state; congressman from their district ; town council nominees from their own town, etc.
This together with ending gerrymandering would give us true representative government. …. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. I can dream.
Thank you for this well thought out and logical answer instead of the knee-jerk emotional answers on this thread.
