YouTube Description
as posted by the channelElections Are Being Bought! Sen Sanders Unveils Anti–Super PAC Bill.
Bernie Sanders and Summer Lee have introduced the “Abolish Super PACs Act,” a new bill aimed at ending unlimited outside spending in federal elections. In fact, NYT just reported that 300 families were responsible for nearly 20% of all federal campaign donations.
The lawmakers argue billionaire donors and corporate money are tightening their grip on American democracy while ordinary voters are pushed aside.
Investigative reporters Taya Graham and Stephen Janis asked Sanders whether Democrats are truly ready to confront a campaign finance system both parties have benefited from. The lawmakers warn that if concentrated wealth continues dominating elections, democracy itself could be at risk.
