  1. Donate the maximum amount legally allowed (as an individual).
  2. Tell the Member that you would like to become a bundler.

(A bundler is a person or small group of people who pool or aggregate contributions "from the community" and then deliver them in one lump sum to a political campaign).

  1. Once you have raised a sizeable amount, deliver the money to the Senator so they can use it wisely. In turn, ~~trade stock options based on insider information to the tune of millions~~, be super glad that you helped the democratic process!

Or you could be like Italy:

  • Everyone and their mother has a party
  • Each party is equally corrupt
  • No one has majority
  • They have to form coalitions or no one reaches the minimum number of votes for elections
  • With multiple parties in government there's opposition within the government
  • They still don't get anything done (except some decrees for show)
  • The favors they trade don't go nowhere
  • Money just gets syphoned into pointless campaign
