Repealing Citizens United does not effect anyone's ability to fundraise from people. It would reverse classifying corporate entities as people. Alternatively, if corporations insist they are people, we should enact a corporate death penalty.

The case stemmed from a documentary called "Hillary: The Movie" released by the conservative non-profit organization. They were restricted in how they funded the advertisement of the film because of FEC regulations on “electioneering communications.” The same thing could happen with a climate doc.

No. It doesn't matter what the case stems from, what matters is the effect of the ruling. The ruling determined that corporations are people and that means they have free-speech and the right to make campaign contributions. Reversing this has no impact on people, only on corporations.

I’m very proud of you for having your slogans memorized, but do you not understand how these restrictions would also apply to a documentary about climate change, J6, or the harms of vaccine conspiracy theories?

It is easier to create new legislation than repeal old legislation, so I'd rather see a corporate death penalty enacted. We could force liquidation of any company found guilty of causing injury or death for profit, and ban the executives from ever operating any kind of business ever again.

That was not responsive to my question in the slightest. I don’t think you understand Citizens United or what you’re asking for.

It wasn't responsive because you're making a bad faith argument in support of capitalism rather than a good faith argument in support of free speech.

I’m completely open to campaign finance reform and looking at super PACs etc. but you guys have to articulate a policy that doesn’t ban a bunch of things I would consider political speech. I haven’t heard any proposals that do that, and most people don’t seem to understand CU.
