Lifting the view on the flow of money and power
Democashy:
One dollar, one vote. We pretend that that’s not how our democracy works… but it is. Because that’s how our corporations work. Corporations control lobbying. Lobbying, and campaigning, controls elections and legislation. Legislation, and the fact that our “elected” representatives are beholden, not to their constituents, but to their campaign donors, controls the outcomes of our so-called democratic process.
Enter bountyup, stage left. It doesn’t change the system, it’s still one dollar, one vote. But it makes it public, it removes the veil. And in a small way, it levels the playing field. Now the underdogs can play, too.
