49. I would seize this opportunity

Limit election spending in federal election and effectively neuter Citizens United.

National elections? Make the funding limited to national funds governed by taxpayers.

Democrats need to tie this dictator’s concept to eliminating obscene money 💰 in elections.

Make a big announcement today that they agree with OranJello on national funding of political campaigns, along with actual laws governing election spending. The public will love this and make the federally-administered election idea the opposite of what oligarchs and tech bros want.
