Money plays a role in the elections that happen in the United States of America.

This used to have a purpose. Running ads in Television and Newspapers were expensive, but it was the only way of communicating information.

However, in the current world, the internet is an obvious utility. The overwhelming majority collect their political information online. 69% of Americans get their information from a PC or Mac, not TV [https://www.americanpressinstitute.org/publications/reports/survey-research/how-americans-get-news/ and it costs very little to host content on information sharing sites.

Everyone hates election day phone calls, e-mail spams, tv ads, whatever; but what if that was it? That was the extent of the political issues encroaching on your life. Your life would still be better than it was today. You would have the same access that every other American had to the platter being lighter, but you would have to want to look for it and find it to eat off it.

Don't let money eat money for free.
