    How do you realistically prevent corporate donors from being a thing when the whole government is compromised and they won’t legislate their privileges and bribes away?

      The same way you introduce a law penalising the c-suite: you pretty much can’t.

      As I mentioned in my comment, the US has a “captured state” meaning that governments don’t represent the interests of people, they represent the interests of corporations and capital.

      That might change temporarily in a time of upheaval - like a revolution level event. Until then, you’re cooked.
