[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, get rid of Citizens United and pass a constitutional amendment requiring public funding of all elections and forbidding any private funding of any kind. [/quote]

Citizens United doesn't have a GD thing to do with this. You just want it gone, so you're tagging it on for the ride.

No.[/quote]

Citizens united took away free speech and replaced it with money.  Now those with the biggest coffers drown everyone else out, where it comes to politics.  With Citizens united we handed the country over to the oligarchs.  Citizens United has everything to do with this conversation.[/quote]

This is 100% true but it's a difficult to truth to accept for many people. It's much easier for the Republicans and Democrats to just hate the other "side" while closing their eyes and assuming their "side" has some genuinely good intent to look after the interests of all Americans.

Most Americans don't realize this but the political struggle is no longer right vs left. The political struggle is between the American people vs the ultra wealthy and powerful donating entities of our two major political parties. Needless to say, the ultra wealthy are winning. [/quote]

Oh, I think most of us know this. And we’re livid with the 30% who don’t. [/quote]
