Isn't that kinda contradictory to the above idea to go around and prohibit my ability to participate in politics?
Yep, but it's not really eliminating your ability to participate in politics, it just means you take a more financially passive role. The problem with private donations is that it gives the better fundraiser a distinct advantage, whereas i believe that the candidate whose position is the most compelling to the most people should have an advantage.
