Publicly financed elections would return democracy to the US.

1. +1!!! THIS

I have been advocating for this since I joined DU!

Campaign contributions, Super PACs, Dark Money, the Revolving Door, and the MSM are the ROOT CAUSES of most of our problems. Publicly Funded Elections would cure this cancer in our Democracy.

We fight the symptoms caused by our (so called) Representatives, the lack of affordable health care, poor education, immigration, gun control, climate change..., but we usually lose because we do not have actual Representative Democracy any longer. These politicians sold us out to Donors who can virtually guarantee their seat of power.
