Progressivism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and ban all political donations and publicly fund elections

Many progressives strongly support public funding of elections and banning private donations, as they believe it would create a more level playing field for candidates and reduce the influence of money in politics. For example, Senator Bernie Sanders has advocated for public funding of elections during his presidential campaigns.

Strongly agree

Yes

Strongly agree

Yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

Progressives agree that politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors, as it can lead to corruption and a government that serves the interests of the wealthy rather than the general public. This sentiment is often expressed in progressive campaigns, such as the presidential campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who both emphasized grassroots fundraising and rejected donations from wealthy donors.

Slightly agree

No, as long as all donations are public knowledge

While transparency in campaign donations is important to progressives, they generally believe that simply making donations public knowledge is not enough to address the issue of money in politics. They would prefer stricter limits on donations or public funding of elections to reduce the influence of wealthy donors.

Strongly disagree

No

Progressives typically disagree with unlimited campaign donations, as they believe it can lead to corruption and the undue influence of wealthy donors on politicians. The Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision in 2010, which allowed unlimited spending by corporations and unions, has been widely criticized by progressives.

Strongly disagree

No, this is a violation of free speech

Progressives generally disagree with the idea that limiting campaign donations is a violation of free speech. They argue that the influence of money in politics undermines democracy by allowing wealthy donors to have a disproportionate impact on policy decisions. This perspective can be seen in progressive opposition to the Citizens United v. FEC decision, which equated campaign spending with free speech.
