Breitbart: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) unveiled a plan Wednesday to give each voter $600 worth of “Democracy Dollars,” which could be donated to federal political candidates of their choice in their state.
As part of her “Clean Elections Plan,” the New York presidential hopeful said the “Democracy Dollars” aim for the removal of big money in politics by making politicians less dependent on wealthy donors.
“My Clean Elections plan is a critical structural change that gets big money and special interests out of politics, and ensures that elected officials in Washington are beholden only to the people who sent them there,” Gillibrand said in a statement.
Under Gillibrand’s proposed plan, eligible voters could request up to $200 each for House, Senate, and presidential races. The money would be equally split between the primary and general election races. more here
This is the lamest Price Is Right episode ever.
I’d bid $601 but Andrew Yang already bid $1000 per month.
And Occasional-Cortex bid FREE!!!
When you can no longer see any difference between the two oldest professions.
Damn, make it stop! Too darn funny!

Do what?
“I’m keeping the big donors out by facilitating fraudulent big donations…”
Good! I will immediately declare for public office, collect $600.00 from everyone I can and then give it back to each of them as a political ploy to buy their vote. They end up $600,00 richer and I end up smiling about their good fortune!

This is totally weird from a political standpoint: “Vote for me, I will take $600 out of your pocket to vote for me or someone else.”
What the heck? Now we are going to be charged $600 to vote? Because where does that $600 come from?!
Sounds illegal.
Also imagine this, I got 20 people together and told a candidate that we were willing to throw our $12,000 combined state seized fund at them if they do X.
What if I got 50, 100, 1000 people together, many of them with $0 tax returns?
Assinine! Democrats are so stupid! Don’t they even look to the repercussions of their ideas?
But seriously folks, This MJA post on Gillibrand has to be taken as comedy. We know that she is not going to the White House. And she has 0-1% (as of now) chance.
So it’s over for her before she even placed her foot in the ring. Just ignore her.
I’m using my $600 to buy a new gun.

BEAT me to it! Walk to the polling place, then drive to the gunshop! 😀
You Idiot, I’d just buy a new computer with that grip-O-cash.
I could take out a 3rd world news org with a new computer.
say goodbye to CNN. heh
where do i sign up?
So all citizens (and non-citizens, but who’s counting) will be REQUIRED to make political donations using money taken ONLY from people who pay taxes. Politicians win, taxpayers lose. Sounds about par for the course.
In the race to come up with the dumbest proposal in the dimwitcrat race this idea has got to be in the top 1000.
“… Give Every Voter $600 …”
“Give?”
Huh? If she wants to “give” her own money, I have no objection.
Come to think of it, if she wants to “give” Bill Gates’ or Geo. Soros’ money, I don’t much give a fuck, either … but if she’s babbling about “giving” MY money, then FUCK HER and her burro!
izlamo delenda est …
Within a week of the programs rollout 90% of
the money will have been scammed and skimmed for
dope, hookers and booze.
It’s the democratic way of returning wealth to
the inner cities
