They just need a billionaire patron and they could dramatically transform American politics for the better.

All those billionaires who give fat checks to political parties and candidates are doing it completely wrong. "Don't hate the player hate the game" -- but what if you could change the game?

The billionaires like the game—it gives them power!

Approval voting has been shown to increase voter satisfaction. I'll bet it would increase voter satisfaction for billionaires as well. They'd no longer be stuck with just a few bad candidates to support.
