Americans failed to learn the history of Nazi Germany. We now have our own fuhrer - the end result will be the same. The billionaire class failed to learn the history of extreme concentration of wealth in France, Russia & China - the end result will be the same.

Of course corruption has always been in politics. You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. Citizens united was the absolute end of fair elections. At least the appearance of fair.

Huge money in politics is yet another thing to thank the US Supreme Court for.

Until $ is purged from politics our government will be corrupt. This is the fault SCOTUS and they should be held accountable.

The bought-and-paid-for GOP majority of the Roberts SCOTUS has profoundly damaged our democracy. The only question we should ask is what their payoff has been. Follow the money!

Pshah. Yawn. So the article says that Congress needs to do part of this? That’ll never happen. More wishful thinking and few answers other than the people need to be in the streets.

And yet the opposition to the GOP corruption is constant solicitation on the Dem side for candidate cash. By 2020, I realized my donations to candidates went into a black hole. The structural barriers to voting get my $: Registration, litigation against voter suppression, etc. Turnout = Dem votes.

So it comes down to People in the streets, angry and not taking it anymore. Which is why Trump's Gestapo is ramping up.
