re: #108 blueraven

Because of the unlimited amount of money in politics.
If…and only if we could cut out all the citizens united type rulings then maybe something like this could work. Until then superpacs, big business, labor, wealthy individuals, and corporations rule the day.

If one could only donate directly to a candidate, with some reasonable limit, then we could talk about it.

That would certainly be ideal but it looks very unlikely to happen. While we’re waiting for the overturn of Citizens United I think the anonymous donation system would be a good idea to limit the amount of influence that money buys.
