Money in Politics: It Wasn't Always Like This.

Elections. They used to free (supposedly) but these days they have a hefty price tag - one that billionaires are more than willing to pay. As for everyday citizens, it feels like we're throwing our money away to desperate campaign emails that don't pan out. How is this better for the American people? In today's episode, I'm joined by Oath founder Brian Derrick and Tiffany Muller of End Citizens United to talk about the legislation that got us here, the world of politics in a pre-super PAC world, and where our hard-earned dollars could really be going. In Part 2 of this video, we'll be talking to Kat Abughazaleh about what it's like to be a candidate running for office in this terrible modern funding system.
