potential Democratic voters that all you had to do was wave around some money at politicians of either party and they have to do whatever you say forever and be corrupt and beholden so both sides same don't vote for them -- such bullshit.

The right-wing will lose money because it's about ideology and power, of transforming society. Money in politics could be banned tomorrow and would the extremist right-wing Republican Party fanatics turn into nice reasonable bipartisan liberals? NO! DUH! Ugh.
