I thought about that but I would view it as supporting our political system, not supporting candidates.

But our political system is about candidates, and if I favor one more than another, why should the one I oppose get anything from me? Socialism for free speech is what public financing is - that’s how I see it. I would rather run the risk of a George Soros pumping millions toward his candidate than have government decide who gets the “free speech” money. Money talks and we have to come to grips with that reality, not curbing free speech on a “lets make everyone equal” policy.
