I have no problem at all with individuals making donations, or at least I know that it is undoubtedly, constitutionally right. I can't help but think though, that collectives getting involved in funding campaigns is a problem.

Why? What's the difference? A collective is just a group of like-minded individuals. And let's face it: these days politicians will nearly always ignore an individual (assuming that they ever did not). In the end, it's the collective that has a voice, not the individual.

Whether this is good or bad is a matter of opinion. I happen to think that it's good, since I also think that true democracy would be a disastrous mess.
