Trump's not a reformer though. There was no campaigning on reducing lobbying, corporate donations, etc. Nothing has changed as far as corruption under Trump.

Ever since I read The Rise and Decline of Nations, I haven't been a huge fan of Democracy due to the asymmetry between the special interest group and the tax payer. So I'm with you. But what you have to realize is that the lobbying and corporate donations are the tip of the iceberg in terms of corruption in American politics.

Example: who is funding this migrant caravan in Mexico? We know someone has rented trucks to carry them; no one is really walking 1000 miles across Mexico. You can see people handing them food and water periodically. And who gave Christine Blasey Ford 1 million to testify against Kavanaugh?

So yeah, I do think we need a political system that is less corruptible. I don't think campaign finance laws are the answer though. We need direct democracy and a true Republic that performs every possible function of government at the most local level possible. Anyway, on to Trump Keeps Winning:

Red wave looking even more likely. Heidi Heitkamp down by 16 points in South Dakota.

Trump is a nationalist. Acosta desperately tries to paint him as a White Nationalist, of course. Why are the media against nationalism? Trump actually looks a little slow in this video to me.

Twitter shadowbans Cory Booker's accuser. Corporations controlling free speech is one of our biggest problems, and again, this has nothing to do with campaign finance laws.
