I agree that spending boatloads of money on propaganda is an effective way of dictating the terms of an election.
It's possible that you just don't agree that capital owners have more money and influence than the rest of the country by orders of magnitude, and that somehow if we just yell really really loudly that we can overcome that immense power differential.
