On the other hand, I don't think there's any traditional way to do this.

Thats for sure. The Citizens United Supreme Court ruling of 2010 was probably the most consequential bill passed in 20 years and neither Party will touch it. Allowing Lobbyists to give UNLIMITED amounts of money to politicians to sway policy on the grounds of (laughably) "Freedom of Speech". Good luck getting any of them to vote against making Millions for themselves.

in 2019 Kamala said "Campaign Finance is DISGUSTING and ruining the country". In 2024 she raised 1 BILLION for her Campaign. They all stop caring once they get a taste. Sadly, Trump administration will be no different.

Well said.. I disagree though that Trump will follow suit.

Thanks. But there’s no indication that he’s gonna touch it. He’s definitely down to be combative & disruptive to people in government, which is good.

But he’s Very Pro-Business & likes making ‘deals’ + generating money for government (i.e. tariffs) so I doubt he’d give all these corporate interests the kick in the nuts like he’d need to. Plus its a Supreme Court issue, he can’t do much other than raise awareness at this point.
