Time to take money out of politics. You get a set amount of $$ from the government to campaign with, allowing no outside money at all as well as barring dark money groups from airing “sympathetic” ads. There’s a set campaign season of 3 months, so if you’re in Congress you’re no longer spending more time on getting reelected than you are on doing the job you were elected for. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Fox, etc all have to carry presidential debates and their local affiliates have to carry district and state debates as well. I’d rather see $100 mil in taxes spent rather than corporations and nefarious ideologues spending $100 Bil and expecting a return on their “investment”.
