Funny thing is the 2 parties have a stranglehold on campaign money because of pacs. So on its face, what you're saying makes no sense whatsoever.

They don't have a stranglehold on campaign money. That's why you're whining about "dark money". But they do have a stranglehold on elections because of plurality voting. And both parties are fighting RCV vigorously because it threatens weaken that stranglehold. And "dark money" is one of their favorite excuses.

So, ban certain industry specific lobbyists. I could get on board with that.

why not ban them all? What is it you need?

All private lobbying should be banned.

They absolutely do, and I do mean nearly every single penny. That's the power of the huge amount of dark money flowing to PACs that only side with either republicans or democrats.

I'd love to see that indeed. Here's a pool of money, get your signatures and get your name on the ballot and here's your money, no more after that, so use it wisely. What's wrong with an even playing field? Demofks love them the equality thingy!!!!

Demofks are with you on this. Bosom buddies. They want to control who gets to run for office just as much as you do.

everyone.

Can't do that. It's how people petition their representatives. It's how groups organize and talk to their rep with one voice.

What? Are you feeling OK? How does big Pharma lobbying for fewer regulations represent people in Des Moines? Sit this one out, dummy.

 

[dblack]

Ban lobbying

Hmmm. So no one can express their concerns to their elected rep?

why is that needed exactly? you need people to threaten others with agreements?

I want to see the voting system changed so that the entrenched parties no longer control everything.

sure, call them up, go to a rally, petition them. All sorts of things they can do, but money isn't needed.

Not what lobbying means.

that's a word salad with no substance of anything.

I now see this dblack has no fking clue on this subject, he can't even get past a word salad statement with no substance.
