Citizens United is a scapegoat here. The people genuinely want what they voted for.


But the people generally seem to want whatever the person who spends the most money on media says they should want.


Harris rose over twice as much money as Trump in 2024.


No citizen voted for Citizens United. So it's inaccurate to say that we did.

Citizens United was a decision by an unelected group of federal judges we call the Supreme Court when a case was brought before them to determine if chump could have Navy Seal Team 6 assinate a political opponent. They ruled, that yeah, he can. Supreme court justices are appointed for life and have no oversight or ethical restrictions.

They are bound by duty to be impartial. They are not.

The Supreme court is not supposed to MAKE law, that's the job of Congress, they are supposed to interpret the law. The Citizens United supreme court decision made new law, but it was made by people that were not elected by the citizens of this country. They are not acting in good faith, and are clearly in it to help chump.


Maybe you are right, and it's a scapegoat here. CU was and continues to be a disaster for this country, and I don't think enough attention can be brought to it until it is mitigated.
