It reduces the likelyhood of corruption after being elected into office. And anyway it hinders the democracy because the higher class people would be fulfilling their things but the majority of who elected the candidate to office won't be given their return of favour.

What’s the line between a donation cap and just silencing voices? If you cap donations, you’re basically saying some people can’t support the candidates they truly believe in. That feels like a free speech issue, not just money in politics. Sure, I get the worry about billionaires buying elections—that’s real. But money is also how grassroots movements get off the ground. Small donors matter, but sometimes you need big backers to compete against entrenched power. Strict caps would hurt challengers more than incumbents. The system’s broken, but gutting donations isn’t fixing it—it’s just changing who gets heard. We should focus on transparency instead, so voters know who’s funding whom. That’s a smarter way to handle this mess.

Transparency makes the situation worse. We've already seen how countless rich people use their power to hide their earnings through shell companies and other 'investments' to protect their wealth from taxes. This is the same. They'll just find a way to show that in fact we don't donate hundreds of billons of dollars. Independent journalists like Johnny Harris has shown how this 2025 USA election Musk donated millions through shady ways to make trump first, and it has a real impact because trump actually won and by a lot. The other thing is that funding never never stops. it will be limited so its rather the ideologies that actuall fight, like it should have always been. The more campaigns you do shouldn't make one be better, but rather his character is what we should vote for.
