19. Yes, and we may be closer than many think to that day.
Money only wins elections that most people don't participate in. If the non-voting half of the population can be moved to participate, as just happened yesterday, money is no longer a major player. People are fed up with the bullshit in politics. They don't think their vote matters, so it goes to the bottom of the priority list. That's why they don't participate. CT just changed that pattern for the first time in decades. It doesn't have to stop there.
