It's actually perfectly in line with our democratic process. It's not subverting it, it's working exactly as designed. Spending a personal fortune is well within the rules. We should be criticizing the design, not the people taking advantage of the design. In other words, hate the game not the player.

It hasn't always been allowed within our rules, and indeed isn't allowed by the rules of most other functioning democracies.

To the extent that the US system of government is more influenced by money than it is by votes, it is plutocratic rather than democratic.
