Take money out of politics.

One of our biggest priorities. Ashamed it got past us years ago

Citizens United needs to be overturned ASAP but as long as Trump and musk are around, it’s probably impossible.

Fun fact. Canada tried it first.

The weasel later to become prime minister Stephen Harper, and then Emperor Palpatine chairman of the IDU, flipping around the globe spreading The joys of fascism.

Almost got away with it in Canada.

In case you didn't know.

And the chances that it's going to be possible to overturn it within the next 4 years ?

Round down to the nearest .000000001%

My guess: 0.000000000%

But I think our chances double 4 years after that.

Citizens United team after 15 years of the Democratic Party doing nothing about Citizens United except take money from pacs like yours, never putting a campaign together to get super majorities or Veto override majorities in both houses! Why the urgency now? The Democratic Party allowed this!

The single most important thing to abolish with extreme prejudice - This is 100% the reason why we are here

Couldn't agreed more!

Absolutely. It is the proverbial tipping point for our loss of the government.

thedissonance.bsky.social•12 days ago

Agree with the sentiment, but if it all turns on overturning Citizens United, how do we account for the fact that influence buying by corporations and oligarchs goes back at least 150 years? Third in a series on the history of political influence buying:

And a proper tax rate so that individual humans can not become so rich they can buy our government.

That is not working for us at all.

There's only one way to end Citizens United is firing one bought Legislator at a time. That should be everyone's focus together united we can do it...
