At the end of the day, money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Money is the fuel that makes political victory possible. Sadly, folks, in many cases it's more important than ideas. And this is what turns off so many people to politics.
Well, the role of money in politics is pretty corrupting right now.
The money in politics is a cash cow for the media.
In the old days, money controlled politics. Today, information controls politics. So I think with the advent of the Internet, the power of wealth has been diminished. Look up all the people you know who spent millions and millions of dollars and fell short.
Social media is natural to me, and it's a very immediate way of saying something. It's the way politics are done these days. In modern politics, you can't ignore that even if you wanted to. I can't imagine doing politics without it.
Money in politics is a huge issue.
Money has always been in politics. And I'm not sure you'd want money to be completely out of politics.
Well I think money has been going into political campaigns for a very long time.
Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.
The undue influence of money on our politics is like a cancer underlying other cancers, the issue underlying all other issues.
