Is just not true....I'd bet 70% of the population that goes unheard on that question would disagree and say dems are just as influenced by money as the repubs...

But that's one of those things not to be said or even thought of?....Can't be true?.....

Op-ed: The surest way to end corporate America’s love affair with money in politics
January 15, 2021

KEY POINTS
.Corporations are clearly starting to rethink political donations.

.What determines if it’s a squall or a sea-change is how far the blame radiates and how active the consumer backlash against these corporations becomes.

.Consumers have the power to hold companies accountable for political spending in ways that may be more influential than focusing on politicians, say Amy Jo Miller and Ian Woods of Goods Unite Us.

If a company can give a politician millions of dollars through a super PAC, then the self-interested politician is certainly going to prioritize that company and its views more than the constituents the politician represents.

This undermines our democracy. Perhaps that is part of the reason why 72% of voters want both parties to reduce the influence of money in politics.
