Why are you opposed to a cash limit on paid advertising when you can have an unlimited social media campaign?
Media is media. Advertising is advertising.
Honestly now that a lot of this stuff has moved to social media campaign finance laws are becoming even more irrelevant and outdated.

I think you are making a better argument for restricting advertising on food products like we do on cigarettes then making a case for unlimited spending on elections.
We know that advertising works. So if some individuals and groups can spend more than others then it move us further from each individual having equal say in democracy. Your position appears to distill down to people with means should have more influence.
Social media campaigns are forms of paid advertising.
