Sure you can. Our campaign finance laws are a travesty, it's literally a free for all and the most money wins. If you don't see that as a problem, you don't recognize a threat to democracy when it's right in front of your face.
Many countries do just fine (better) with much stricter campaign finance laws. Many countries don't allow paid tv ads, or limit campaigning to a much shorter duration. Some countries limit spending. Almost all other Western democracies (and some not-so-democratic countries) have better transparency laws than we do.
Look at a state like Nebraska. Their 2 senators can be bought for chump change by a billionaire PAC. You think that's good for democracy? You think that tastes like freedom?
We do agree on one thing: idiot voters are the problem.
