Money is speech. As long as there is no quid pro quo there is nothing illegal about it. People can support candidates either by rallying for them, posting signs, wearing buttons, dedicating an entire youtube channel to them, or by donating money. Yes, rich people have more to give, but certain media outlets, like TYT, have more air time and a larger following to advertise to.
If you ban money in politics because of campaign donations then you go down the route of forcing CNN, Fox, MSNBC, ABC, and even TYT and the Daily Wire to give equal air time to each candidate because they are large networks and should not influence elections like that. That is also a violation of free speech.
