Dark money isn’t an abstraction; it’s the mechanism that converts billion-dollar spending into policy outcomes ordinary voters never consented to.
The corruption crisis is bipartisan in structure but asymmetric in consequence, with guardrails systematically stripped away by the courts.
Reform only becomes politically viable when people connect democratic rules to lived outcomes like healthcare costs, climate policy, and economic inequality.
In this conversation, Edwin frames the moment as a shift from defensive outrage to offensive reform, pressing the idea that corruption has finally become tangible enough to mobilize people who usually tune it out. Tiffany Muller sharpens that case by tracing a direct line from Citizens United to today’s lived consequences—sky-high election spending, collapsing transparency, and policy outcomes that consistently favor wealth over voters. Her argument insists that corruption isn’t just about excess money, but about who gets to decide and who is locked out entirely. By grounding democratic reform in concrete examples—climate paralysis, drug pricing, tax policy—she reframes it as a prerequisite for solving any other problem. The result is a demand not just for outrage, but for structural change that restores power to people rather than donors.
Tune in for a year-end discussion that turns frustration into a roadmap for reform.
