Since the Citizens United ruling in 2010, dark money spending has skyrocketed.
In 2012, outside groups spent over $300 million.
In 2020, outside groups spent over $3 billion.
Our electoral system has been turned into a playground for big corporations & the super rich.
@rbreich "Modern society has created a class of artificial beings who bid fair soon to be the masters of their creator. It is but a very few years since the existence of a corporation controlling a few million dollars was regarded as a subject of grave apprehension, and now this country already contains single organizations which wield a power represented by hundreds of millions. they already are establishing despotisms which no popular effort will be able to shake off..."
