I’m not sure you have made a point. If every candidate is bought and sold, why does it matter where the money comes from?
You must be the king of False Equivalency!
What you seem to be saying is that if Joe Sixpack gives Bernie Sanders $10 he will have the same power and influence over Bernie as an Exxon Mobil lobbyist.
The amount of money, as well as where it comes from, makes a huge difference. Even if it didn't, and in some bizzaro world the thousands of individuals who donated small amounts will have an agenda based on what the people want and not what the insurance industry, Wall Street and the petroleum industries want.
