You know other not corrupt countries have laws against political advertising yeah? And without them, democracy is in the hands of capital owners

Hmmm, do you think it would help if we empowered the party that wants to repeal Citizens United?

We did, several times since, it made 0 difference because they are beholden to capital... people seem to forget we had a democratic president just a few months ago, but he was busy supporting genocide and sending cops at protestors. Would have been nice if they had gone after citizens united, but...

I mean, I’m not really sure what you expected Biden to do to overturn a Supreme Court decision

Well, you said we should just empower the party, and it will be solved, im just pointing out that is false. Im glad you agree now, seems you were a bit disingenious earlier tho.

There was a Supreme Court seat open during the 2016 election! Electing HRC quite literally would have given us enough votes to overturn it!

Yeah there was one during Obamas reign as well, but they decided to give that to trump because mconnel cried about fairness, and the dems decided to capitulate, but lets blame voters instead huh

If you could quit being condescending for a minute, there's some interesting thinking being revealed in the comments here that might help process the issue

Having a rotating cast of politicians who really want to do good thing and urge everyone else to do so but there’s just not enough interest is a feature of the set up designed to delude you into donating your precious time and thoughts while earnestly believing this is just how things work
