I would like to see just one race where one candidate spends no money and campaigns only in person and on the Net. And defeats an incumbent who spent millions. No-one forces us to vote for the candidate who has the most money, whose face we see in television ads the most often. No, we commit that fuck-up all by ourselves, and we could stop. Once we first elect a candidate with no money and lots of Net presence, it will happen more.
Countries do get more democratic sometimes, and peacefully.
It happened in the Soviet Union and in South Africa. I would carry that virus proudly.
