"Billionaire-funded super PACs—AIPAC, AI, crypto, and others—are spending hundreds of millions to defeat any candidate who crosses them. They should be banned from Democratic primaries. Period."
The only thing that will save the United States is overturning Citizens United. Everything else is secondary.
If you want representatives who are there as actual public servants, allowing them to accept money from large donors makes them a for-profit entity.
Everything we hear that would “fix” the US can be attributed to Citizens United.
Immigration reform? Guess what - industries thrive on the broken system, and they pay to keep it broken.
You want Congress to take back control of who the US goes to war with? Defense contractors are some of the largest donors in the country. War will remain a racket.
Ranked-choice voting and 3rd party redistricting? The US’s two-party system is funded by those large donors and thrives in this system.
You can’t fix this without removing the dark money first.
It is the only thing I care about in a politician at this point. I get that being a single issue voter is dumb, but this is so foundational that once it’s overturned, we can start getting back to the issues at hand.
He’s right.
