- Billionaires have found a shady way to secretly finance candidates. They use nonprofits as vats of cash to funnel cash to candidates that will advance their interests.

+Jack St john I think its your icon thats berning, or it could be that guy over there (points to bernie sanders.)
Simple, for now VOTE FOR #berniesanders primaries and general.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win!

By voting for Bernie! #feelthebern
If you thought Super PACs were bad, dark money is a much shadier way to buy elections.
we all know the problem what's the solution?
+Eshtakaba Lafromboise Constitutional amendment mandating publicly funded elections.
+Icearchon And a president that would support it (The only candidate being Sanders).

I just discovered your channel recently and really enjoy your coverage and the way you set up your shoots including the graphics. Thanks.
GREAT VIDEO
I live in NC, and remember those Thom Tillis ads. I don't think I ever saw a commercial from the lady he was running against, and she was the senator at the time.
os vídeos do canal são muito interessantes ... Parabéns ... trabalho perfeito
She's back!!! YESSS!!!!
Bernie
Thank you bernie
We are not a DEMOCRACY we are a Republic
So what can we do it about it? Vote Bernie Sanders for starters. #FeelTheBern
Anyone coming back to this years later: "Individual donors can now give $3,300 per candidate per election, an unprecedented $400 increase from $2,900 during the 2022 election cycle."
umm this happens with democratic candidates too...
And how can you not include Democrats using the same scheme
I love Francesca. She's so purty.
time to put a stop to it ;)
#BernItDown
This is true. Including the election winners you all on this channel support. So there’s that.
Public finance is looking pretty good right now
what? is corruption legal in the US?
Why do we the people allow for elected official to take any money outside of their District. Campaign donation should be only collected in the district they represent no outside money no dark money no corporate money. It’s the time we take our house back
So how are you going to get around it. Any politician who suggests policy restrictions to dark money, simply don't show up on the ballet. So you can't even vote in people who will get rid of dark money. This two party government is simply wrong especially if both parties are corrupt.
Just call it whats it is Ford n Rockefeller foundation.
How many of these ads have I seen? 2, because internet.
It's simple.... #Feelthebern.
Wow she is starting to grow on me..
I watch AJ for Francesca ..
wow
BERNIE BERNIE BERNIE BERNIE!
Democracy dollars what America need
in foregn countries you can buy anything for money.Its coming to this country.
FEEL THE BERN, BERNIE BERNIE BERNIE......
I'm totally feeling the Bern, but I can't be the only one who thinks this video itself is an issue ad for Bernie Sanders. They're not endorsing him flat out, but they're talking about the big issue of money in politics. Definitely a Bernie stance.
I don't usually say this, but the people in disliking this video definitely don't want to hear the truth and there is just no two ways about it.
American Democracy has now become American Oligarchy....
Pardon me for being "the man" but I question the effectiveness of these super PACS. Of all the candidates the one with the most Super Pacs is Jeb Bush and he has almost no chance of winning. Same for Mitt Romney in 2012.
Tons of money, no victory.
Chancelor Grey
But thats my point. If super Pacs dont influence elections, is it really a serious problem.
They can influence enough stupid people to vote in the mid term elections.
No more dark money in politics. Just rescind the right of ordinary Americans to vote, then all the dark money will become light money
take a drink for every time you see "Bernie Sanders"
This is nothing new. This has been going on since the founding of this country.
I am in the wrong business
By voting for Bernie. #feelthebern
When are you doing a video about the Democrats that do the same thing?
Thom Tillis is awful, but to be fair I worked for Hagan and she wasn't really good at her job either.
I can't post for some reason
legalized corruption
Bernie is the man with the plan!
Money talks.
You should see a psychiatrist about that...
i cant believe it makes trump look like an angel
I say no president for 2016!
9 out of 678 people dislike the video, otherwise known as the 1% *Keanuface*
Vote for Bernie. Problem solved !
7 billionaires watch AJ+
The reporting here is quite funny. A vast majority of non profits are Democratic leading. But she only focused on GOP. Lmao

BERNIE SANDERS ALL THE WAY!!!
You're as bad as whoever you just called a dark money donor, except your powerless and contribute only with one sided examples. You should have left it as an educational video.
First!
+Joshua Marsella In the smallest dick contest!
