These things were reality pre reformation
One thing you must understand it took a long time to build this hegemony, it is going to take a long time to tear it down
Brick by brick
To have Fascism as a flash in the pan movement is the short road to failure
No its not, its already coming down lol
I wouldn't say it's coming down but the foundations have been shattered
A few more pivotal events must occur for the masonry to start crackling and tumbling down
Again, it will not happen overnight
And to be fair I'm not an absolutist
Ok, how would you prevent Corporations from donating to candidates and congressman directly? Under our current system of course
Under our current system, it’s currently legal to donate to candidates as a corporation indirectly under Super PACs
So rid it?
What instead
The thing is, it’s hard to trust public opinion as doing a good job as it can drastically change over a week
Let’s say majority public opinion wants to go to War with Russia
Hypothetical
If the congressman realizes this is a shit idea and doesn’t support war with Russia
He is seen as unpopular and doesn’t get enough donations
This starved and dies
I agree they should be paid less but not cut off salary
A majority can disagree to the same effect
I can agree with that
Yes, a small subsidiary from the government of about 10-50k should be enough
10 is a little low
As who knows how public opinion might switch
Also @Fsypro, what limit from individuals do you propose should be for donations
The reason why I ask is wealthy individuals still exist and should they be limited
Or not
Not bad idea
One thing I have a small problem though
Actually a big problem
Is where the candidate is
An example is a conservative in a liberal district
Under your system, the politician has to appeal to the populous more
What if the values of the politician are against the people’s?
Do they get screwed
Due to lack of donations
So let’s establish common ground
The donation system should be a limit from 1000$ per individual
Base salary of congressman should not exceed twice that of state’s minimum wage
