在過去，桑德斯對大額資金在政治中的影響表達了他的擔憂。他不斷呼籲結束公民聯合案和超級政治行動委員會，提倡通過公共資金來資助選舉。

Why It Matters: Sanders' recent post comes in the wake of his criticism of Musk's reported monthly donations of $45 million to the Trump campaign. He stressed the importance of overturning Citizens United and transitioning to publicly funded elections to ensure a government that represents all citizens, not just billionaires.

根據桑德斯的說法，僅有1500億aire家庭就在2024年選舉中花費了將近20億美元，進一步強調了他的論點：美國正變成一個寡頭政治。
