Finally get rid of the biggest barrier to a better world for at least 300million people, primary/buy-out every single politician of the democrat party to ensure the things that are ostensibly in their platform are actually enacted. Also ensure that every single current non-elected neo-liberal "policy wonk" and their sycophants never have any influence in any future government again.
I don't think 100 million will buy you a hill of beans in US politics. And I don't think they'll betray their class interests for any amount of money - what's the point in taking a $100m bribe if it means there's fair taxation and more equitable living that prevents them being top dog with that money?
