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

Not 100% ppl have to disagree

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

Any corporate donation is illegal and heavily punished

Agreed?

@Fsypro

Good

Maybe for a good time it’ll be a good solution

But I doubt this would pass right now nationally

As we already have the 27th amendment and campaign finance laws that both sides have their likes enough to not give it up

Maybe one day

National Socialism is literal poison and anyone who thinks it will work in the modern world is genuinely delusional

Those who also view the West or America as a failing state who’s about to fail in 5 or so years is also genuinely delusional

People who are called @Outboarduniform are also genuinely delusional, as well as quite retarded, might I add.
