Not if the candidates refuse money from lobbyists. I haven’t verified it but Bernie, AOC & Ro Khanna (I think Maxwell Frost) claim that they don’t take lobbyist money & rely on small donations. I may be missing some others.

The existing law in NSW is more than adequate to have avoided the images of Nazis outside state parliament over the weekend.

The Uses of Sorrow
(in my sleep I dreamed this poem)
Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.

News Corp's call to 'Back Australia' speaks to a terminal nostalgia-laced stupidity
News Corp's campaign for homegrown manufacturing, titled 'Back Australia', is in the service of a right-wing agenda of nostalgia. It comes with huge costs, if we're dumb enough to get sucked in.

All to give tax cuts to the ultra wealthy….
It makes no sense.
How could anyone that actually works for a living or a soldier that defends our nation via military service agree with this?
How does anyone square this Republican policy?

Yes, I did and it is devastating. 42 million Americans are going to starve because Donald Trump and the GOP refuse to negotiate for healthcare that cost less than the amount of money Trump gave to Argentina. Sickening.

Yep, I was showing signs. I had a trans aunt, she took her life. My parents reminded me at any opportunity what "would happen if I became like that" at every sign they saw. Then they had the audacity to say they never saw any.
