You're describing the status quo. Good candidates won't need support from the grassroots because they would not be in a struggle for access to the media.

Exclusively taxpayer-funded media for candidates to give their platforms to the people is all they need; it's all we need.

Corporations all have an individual who is associated with them. If it's a legitimate issue for the public good the individual can take care of it.

Is any system perfect?

You're basically arguing to keep things the way they are except add more media to what we have already.

Weekly taxpayer-funded debates and advertisements is overkill. A truly free press, which should be a by-product of getting the money out of politics, should be sufficient to make our system work according to the Constitution.

The mess originates from money. We have to get at the cause to have a solution.
