New options are needed
THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United.
As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy.
We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.
Trump is already using his stablecoin to get a cut of a $2 BILLION deal with a shady UAE fund.
