So it's not enough that they get to buy the two candidates that the rest of us have to vote on. It's not enough that they basically get to choose who is going to be our Senators and Representatives. Basically, he wants the power to run completely roughshod over the rest of us, not just mostly-roughshod. Why even bother with the illusion of the elections in the first place, then?

This guy has jumped the shark. He can't seriously want to roll back a hundred years of progress on universal suffrage.

There are plenty of rich and powerful folks who have been working hard to undo the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which is even older.

This clown just isn't playing as deep of a game.

why not let the richest person have complete power. if your going to throw democracy out the window at least do it right. none of this half a*ed plutocracy crap.

It really doesn't matter how many votes you have if you're dead.

They already do.

Money determines who gets on the ballot. Money determines who wins. Then money determines what they do when they're in office.
