The core argument is that every campaign finance reform fails for the same reason — the money just finds another path.
The alternative here is to treat large political spending like a sin tax. Small donations untouched. Once spending gets big, the cost ramps up fast enough that the return on investment disappears.
Curious how people here think about this as a mechanism vs contribution limits or disclosure rules.
