For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Anyone with enough money has been playing the game for roughly 250 years. Term limits isn't a fix by itself, and with other countries purchasing presidents, maybe not the first reform, but it's on the list, no?
Sure they have, I said as much in my post. But it's a lot less effective if the guy you gave a massive donation to can now raise money on his own name and get himself re-elected. He's free to tell you no, no matter how much money you gave his campaign.
That entire calculus changes with term limits.
