Money Shouldn't Define Democracy
The current political system heavily favors candidates with substantial financial backing, undermining true democratic processes. Campaign finance reform is crucial to counteract this imbalance, with proposals for stringent limits on individual contributions and the introduction of public funding for elections. Candidates should be able to access public funding if they demonstrate grassroots support, ensuring a fairer competition even among less wealthy candidates. Such reforms are not radical and are successfully implemented in many other countries, aiming to restore genuine democracy.
