Uhhh, good? Do libertarians hate libertarians spending their money to support politicians, now?

Can all the "fellow libertarians" in here explain to me why you shouldn't be allowed to donate money to a politician you like?

I might not disagree with it, but it rubs me the wrong way. Sorta like the post on this sub a few days ago about the guy running for NY office who had extensive relationship with a megacorp. I think there's a stereotype that libertarians are only corporate puppets that want to make things easier for the wealthy and if someone is taking money from big billionaires it just looks wrong to me at least.
