Well, I agree we work from a baseline of a broken election, but we are quickly moving towards unfixable elections. I mean let's say we see the 4 to 5 billion dollar presidential election in 2016. What comes next in 2020? 8 to 10 billion dollar elections? Then who could ever hope to compete fairly in an election like that without being in the pocket of major industry. A candidate like Bernie Sanders in a general election like that would never stand a chance. To me that is a really severe breach of democracy that honestly scares me a bit.
