  • Why can’t we do like the UK does?

    • You can only campaign for a certain period of time (like, a month or two iirc)
    • You have a hard limit of what you can spend on said campaign
    • TV stations must give equal TV time to both parties, and parties can’t start campaigning until a certain period after the election is announced.
    • EDIT: and they use ranked choice voting.

    (I’m in the US so I’m pulling a lot of this from memory, please correct me if I’m wrong)

    Yeah, people may still vote for an idiot. But it’s an idiot they voted for, and not one that was bought for some company for tax breaks.
