Like, John Oliver offering Thomas the “motor coach” if he stepped down from the SC is actually a pretty huge offer, if it wasn’t a lifetime appointment it probably would have worked.
Part of the reason was campaign donations being capped lowered the max asking price.
Then PACS raised it, and now the DNC and Biden have updated Hillary’s program that managed to bankrupt the DNC and most state parties so an individual can give a million each.
Which doesn’t exactly solve the problem in anyways, just means that the politicians get bigger checks for the same corrupt bullshit.
It’s why the only people seriously trying to get money out of politics is progressives. They have nothing to lose by it, their donations come from individuals and is already averaging well below the 3k a person is legally able to give a year. They just have a shit ton more donors (actual voters) than a bunch of giant corporations and bundlers.
It’s always been that cheap.
