Veda DalsetteCould This Actually End Citizens United?
YouTube
Steve's Place#CitizensUnited stole their futures so that every local oligarch may have a turn at running America, which they despise for its laws displaying concern for others, into the ground. Trump got to go first, likely because he possesses the most blackmail on the others. He got to go second, too, because the others all saw the boxes.

Why College Graduates Feel Betrayed
Their anger goes far beyond the recent rise of unemployment and the looming threat of A.I. Political observers on the left and right had very different views on whether Zohran Mamdani would be a good mayor of New York City. But one thing they agreed on was why so many young college graduates …
Linux Is BestAl Gore should have been President.
When the Supreme Court stepped in and refused the right to have a recount, that was the first time I felt something was wrong with this country. You didn’t even need to vote in that election to feel something was wrong.
Citizens United should never have been approved by the Supreme Court.
Money should not entitle you to more rights, nor should a faceless corporation be viewed as a human being. That was another moment when I knew something was wrong. We basically failed common sense.
Bernie Sanders would be our President if the DNC did not ignore the voting population. It was broadcast on live TV and reuploaded to YouTube, where many Americans watched in disbelief as the opinion of the chair ignored the vote and said Hillary Clinton needed her turn, as if the presidency were an inheritance. They later even argued in court that, as a private party, they could choose whomever they wanted and that the primaries were only ever a formality.
Once more, now in his second election, Bernie Sanders should have won. Even The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Time magazine were asking, “Were we ready for a socialist?” and predicting he would win, only for the DNC to have a bunch of people jump into the race and endorse the last-place candidate, whose campaign had won nothing and was near bankruptcy: Joe Biden. I have never seen anyone endorse the last-place candidate except in that election.
Joe Biden was always going to lose a second term. He had only been forced upon us and put up with because people had had enough of Donald Trump’s first term. But the old man, along with the DNC, held onto Joe Biden running well past the primaries and did a surprise switch to Kamala Harris for the general election. Kamala Harris, who was so unpopular that she had dropped out of the primaries four years prior before anyone voted, was, of course, going to lose. The Pikachu face of surprise afterward was just sad.
The United States has a problem — many of them, actually. How our leaders are selected is one of them.

AnneTheWriterOkay. But we still need to overturn #CitizensUnited and take away the ABILITY for billionaires to donate large amounts in the first place.
That needs to be the primary goal. And I don't think most politicians-- in either party, including #EstablishmentDemocrats -- will ever be willing to do so.
Backing politicians because they push back a bit against #IncomeDisparity is fine; but by itself, it is merely a small temporary victory, and is doomed to be a neverending uphill battle.

Miss Kitty 🌈🌈🌈Check this. MAGA wants what you want. Politicians on big donors, like crackheads on glass dick, don't want what you want no matter which party. You have to come to understand that #campaign finance leniency is not first amendment protection. #Fascism. #CitizensUnited was last straw, not whole drink.
