I have begun to notice the Peanuts style brick wall for conversations between adult human characters. Maybe if they leaned on it correctly Rat would let them talk.
-Public election fund-Strict campaign seasons only a few months before the election-Instant runoff voting-Ban politicians from being able to buy stocks-Actually have inspections instead of letting the company do it themselves
It would be really hard to regulate elections given the corrupt SCOTUS, but I think the best thing about other countries may well be the short elections. Not just the money, but how long can be regulated.
But a funny joke about regulated elections. One clever scammer got a bunch of patsies to run in the governor’s election. He thus had about 25 candidates, and each candidate got a square on the public advertising boards for the election. His idea was to sell the advertising space from all of his patsy candidates. The numbers actually made sense and he could have made a pretty good profit, but he didn’t have enough salespeople and failed to sell enough ads and wound up losing money on the scam. (During the election I was wondering what all the blank space was about and why other boards had lots of repeated ads that didn’t seem to be related to the election. I found out about the scam a couple of weeks later.)

If you think politicians are corrupt now, wait ‘till they get to spend taxpayer’s money on their own campaigns.

Not “no one”, Rat, but the Supremes don’t want to hear it.

so, publicly financed usually means government controlled. I can’t see how that could POSSIBLY go wrong.
