Urgent need for campaign finance reform

"The Wall Street Journal reported that Elon Musk planned to donate $45 million a month to a pro-Trump super PAC" This is just flat-out buying an election. It is ridiculously corrupt. Our political system is awash in "dark money".

The U.S. urgently needs major campaign finance reform laws to put a stop to this kind of corruption. The Biden administration made a good start with the DISCLOSE Act, which requires donors of over $10,000 to identify themselves. But much more needs to be done. I hope a new Harris administration will send legislation to congress mandating campaign finance reform laws.

A couple of year ago, Peter Thiel, The German, took one of his employees, JD Vance, put Millions into a PAC, that along with an endorsement from Convicted Felon Turned Messenger Of God Trump (who couldn't remember his name) who was asked for the endorsement by the South African and the Fox reject, Tucker.

Yes on finance reform.

@Northwest yep. Trump draining the swamp again, with a peter thiel/big tech puppet. The contradictions are staring everyone in the face but many continue to support this rigged system
Elon did pledge that 5 or 6 days ago, and then yesterday Elon rescinded his pledge, making comments about not wanting to join a "cult of personality."

Which is highly ironic, given that Elon has spent the last 15 or more years trying to build his own cult around his own personality, LOL!!!

I read just recently that Elon said his 45 million was a one off payment.

Not happening for this year’s election.
People owning the election process and voting on how their democracy will work? That's socialism. You go to the big bidders and the richest oligarchs. You killed socialism so you could be there for the ownership to the end of the ecosystem.
