It's a small price to pay to subvert the democratic process to your advantage.

  What was subversive about spending money to get ads run arguing on a live policy question?

    It's not the ads, it's giving money to political parties in return for influence.
    • twoodfin 3y ago
      Sorry, where did that happen?

        They’re called political donations. Do companies donate to PACs just for of charity? No. They do it to influence policy for greater profits.

          The donations go to ads. I’m confused what you’re objecting to.
          • nielsbot 3y ago
            I’m objecting to people buying ads. Ads = influence. Because “hey if you don’t want to play ball, we’ll happily fund ads for your opponent” (see, for example, AIPAC)
