There’s an easy way to fix that. Just get rid of all dark money in politics and put strict caps on time and money that can be spent on political campaigns.
I guess it’s more of a “simple” way than an “easy” way…
Corporations are NOT people and money is NOT speech.
Citizens United vs FEC was a horrible decision and Roberts actually expanded the decision beyond the original issue.
“This is a Senate of the monopolists, by the monopolists, and for the monopolists.”

24% of the politicians block what 76% of the American people want.
Their ROI is thousands to one (according to two investigative reporters some 30 years ago. Probably more now)
The real problem is stupid voters keep reelecting the incumbents who are destroying their lives for corporate bribes.
