Lets start by putting a cap on how much money can be spent on campaigns and keep it at a very minimal level.
Start by eliminating superPACs.
Sounds good. We’ll just need to re-do Citizens United with fewer than 5 fully regressive appointees purchased by billionaires.

If it’s robust enough that it actually limits campaign spending without loopholes, then that alone might do it. Campaigns would have to use their funds more strategically, and the best time to spend is in the weeks before an election, not a year out.
That’ll never work, big donors will just hide it or do the advertising themselves unrelated of course
