The phrase "get money out of politics" has been repeated millions upon millions of times in public and private venues and nobody has defined what that phrase means and how to do it. It's vagueness makes it useless. Try "abolish corporate lobbyist bribery" or anything that more specifically points out that you are being taxed without representation because you can never give enough money to ever be heard by your representatives.
Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean no one else does...
I googled this in 2 seconds...

Is that supposed to be some sort of "own"?
You did not understand the assignment.
Good news!
I figured out why you think no one can explain it.
You linked to one dead campaign that was pledging not to accept campaign contributions and which calls for "meaningful reform" instead of abolition. "Reform" is just repackaging. She lost, btw.
What I am telling you is that the wording is wrong because it's cheap, vague, and ineffective. It's the kind of thing that rednecks say while leaning on their pickup trucks.
