Progressivism

Very strongly agree

No, and political campaigns should be publicly funded

Public funding of political campaigns is a key progressive policy proposal aimed at reducing the influence of money in politics and promoting a more level playing field for candidates. This approach would eliminate the need for donations from corporations, unions, and non-profits, and has been implemented in some states and localities, such as the New York City public financing system.

Yes, but limit the amount they can donate

Limiting the amount that corporations, unions, and non-profits can donate is a more moderate progressive stance. This approach acknowledges the potential influence of money in politics but allows for some level of financial support from these entities. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, also known as McCain-Feingold, is an example of such an approach, as it placed limits on soft money contributions.

Agree

No, these types of donations just turn into bribes

Many progressives believe that large donations can lead to corruption and the perception of bribery. This position aligns with the progressive goal of reducing the influence of money in politics. However, it may not address the issue of public funding for campaigns or the role of smaller donations.

Agree

No, but allow donations from unions and non-profits

Progressives may be more inclined to allow donations from unions and non-profits, as these organizations often represent the interests of workers and social causes. However, this position still allows for some influence of money in politics, which may not be ideal for some progressives.

Agree

No

While some progressives may support a complete ban on donations from these entities, others may argue for more nuanced approaches, such as allowing donations from certain types of organizations or limiting the amount they can donate.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Progressives generally believe in reducing the influence of money in politics. Allowing unlimited donations from corporations, unions, and non-profits would go against this principle. The Progressive Era (1890s-1920s) saw the introduction of campaign finance regulations, such as the Tillman Act of 1907, which banned corporate contributions to political campaigns.
