    Citizens united was a bullshit ruling that allowed unlimited money to get funneled into politics. It’s not a solvable problem anymore. The US stopped being even a semblance of a free country the moment it happened

    The only way to solve it at this point starts with “gui” and ends with “llotine”. We are well and truly fucked, and the billionaires are now starting on Europe

      Someone needs to read A Peoples History of the United States. This is who this country has always been and this is who SCOTUS has always been. Theyve ruled several times in the past that corporations are people and are protected by the 14th

      Starting on? Europe is where it all began, it’s the source of all of the “old money”. Some of these banks have been around since the slavery days. Deutsch bankrolled Trump for many years.
