We have got to figure out campaign finance reform. The corruption is right out in the open now, and it's very disheartening. Elon Musk should not be able to threaten to beat you out in the primary if you do something that he doesn't like. You are supposed to be representing your constituents, not the billionaires. I don't know how to fix this problem, but I know it is fixable. Also the non-stop campaigning really gets in the way of getting things done. What if we just set up two or three debates on PBS, which is available for free to all Americans and did away with all the extra bashing ads that people run. (They are bad for America.) Everyone can have their own website too, but let's have them fact checked by an independent source. It would save a ton of money and be much more efficient. It would be nice if individual candidates just chose to do these things on their own, but that's not realistic. What are your ideas on how to fight the corruption in the campaign finance system?
