The question is : Are you ok with it nullifying your vote?

Well I'm not American so I obviously don't get a vote there anyways.
The question regarding this documentary is why is it okay for Democrats to accept money from billionaires who seek to advance their interests but it's not okay for Republicans?
Where are the documentaries called "Citizen Soros" or "Citizen Steyer"?
Why is okay for unions to try and buy elections by throwing all of their weight and money behind the Democrats?
I can guarantee you that if the Koch brothers were donating that money to the Democrats for the same causes there would be no documentary about it and most people would never know who they were.
