In US you can legally “donate” to politicians and have meetings with them without much tracebility.
Then you also have the dumb idea of super delegates, to which millions are donated by corporations since they have a much larger influence than individual voters.
The reality is that US is no longer a democracy, it’s a plutocracy where the wealthy have a far larger influence.
And since elections are getting more expensive every term, I predict almost every candidate to be a billionaire backed candidate. Bernie was an exception but couldn’t do much against billionaire backed Hillary.
