Bottom Up or bottoms up.

It is disconcerting to see $MONEY$ praised as the solution to the problem of $MONEY$ in/as politics
and the cure for post Citizens United unlimited fundraising.
With that sort of demented value system, how is more money ever going to outspend unlimited money?

Of course it is a false promise, propaganda, a gag, poison.
There are other ways, and those who tell you otherwise?
they are not your friends.
unless you and they are so rich it doesn't matter who wins the Presidency, other than shareholding concerns.

The HARD push for memes of money, power and unearned fidelity,
your own interests be damned, this early in the process should reveal enough.
The mass majority of taxpaying American voters deserve representation.
A fair process, a democratic system.
Those who do not want those things, need to find another party.
and if you would rather not choose between Bottom Up democracy and a good hard one from behind, thats ok.
Just go for both, and dont leave the majority holding an empty sack.
it's time.
