Again, my ideal is public financing.
But if private donations is how we must go, it's far easier for the poor and the middle class to use their advantage in population to keep up and even surpass the wealthy if we cap what you can donate at something reasonable like $2,000.
It allows the power of the many to be better heard, which is far
more democratic than unlimited campaign spending by billionaires.
