I find it interesting how many people here are calling on the Dems to repeal Citizens United. The RNC has majorities in the house, Senate and SCOTUS and orchestrated the current situation over decades! The time to act was 20 yrs ago. Putting the horse back in the barn now is delusional.

There is a real technical reason why extreme wealth is dangerous. It is a fact that applies to any complex thing like an electrical circuit or a political system.

I feel like there is no hope for that. The wealthy have an iron grip on power.

I'm a 2%er. I know what $ buys me: preferred seating, access & influence. Restaurants mayors decisionmakers

#CitizensUnited was the START of the coup. It allowed the later more visible corruption

Every argument & warning against unlimited money in politics has been completely validated

The only long-term solution is to reverse Citizens United. And for that, we need a different SCOTUS.

In my view, the Democrats can redeem their lack of appropriate reaction to the Nightmare unfolding before us is by rescinding Citizens United.
And push for a Constitutional Amendment that hard limits political contribution amounts.

We need a new form of governance as this one is too easy to manipulate.

I agree, if we did manage to do that we might actually find someone with a little integrity

It was the SCOTUS that destroyed America when they ruled against the FEC in 2010 (more commonly referred to as "Citizen's United." It gave outsized influence to corporations and in a mere 15 years has successfully unraveled our democracy and replaced it with an oligarchy.
