Citizens United was the beginning of the end for the United States and democracy.
Donald Trump and those like him are only a symptom of a much larger problem.

"People generally say they don't want corporation spending in politics. What this is trying to do is go around Citizens United, not smash into it head on."
Montana's plan to beat Citizens United could reshape political spending
A Montana ballot initiative seeks to prohibit corporate election spending, leveraging states' rights under the Tenth Amendment to regulate corporations.

Not all American corporations support 🟠tRump, but do appease him by wanting lower Corp taxes.
In our Capitalist econ, the Corps continue their GREEDY pursuit of net PROFITS, even when #WeThePeople starve.
#CitizensUnited is doing all the "wet work"❗️

>> #SCOTUS ruling on #CitizensUnited that treats corporations as natural persons for contributing money, but not for voting.
The #SupremeCourt carefully contrived this narrow scope to pull wool over our eyes so that #corporate money could flow in.
Had they granted voting rights to corporations that they treated as natural persons, all companies incorporate in the #US would be able to vote, and thereby expose the sham nature of the ruling.

>> #ElonMusk: “With #ArtificialIntelligence we are summoning the demon.” 😳 … Why are we giving these anti-human #oligarch #sociopaths control over our entire lives? … This should be a bipartisan issue.
It IS a bipartisan issue, and that issue is #corporate money that flows to both parties, #Republican as well as #Democratic, thanks to #SCOTUS ruling on #CitizensUnited that treats corporations as natural persons for contributing money, but not for voting.

Happy September and LABOR DAY! Remember, if you like having "weekends" and "days off", thank the Labor Movement. Also, remember to give what you can to your local, state and federal candidates as well as parties or special advocacy groups close to your heart. There's a lot more of us than the billionaires and corporations, but we do have to get around to kicking in a little to fund OUR people in opposition to THEIRS. Got $100 bucks to give? Use this silly little table below to allocate it!

See how contrived the #SCOTUS justification for #CitizensUnited was in comparison to the #UK #SupremeCourt which rejected a #patent case because under UK patent law "an inventor must be a natural person."
#US Supreme Court, on the other hand allowed corporations to pump money in politics because #corporations have a right to #freedomOfSpeech like a natural person.
Why did they not allow corporations to #vote then? They didn't want poor people to incorporate and vote 🔥

James Talarico, Mark Cuban, and Jessica Tarlov held a discussion about conditions in the United States and ideas for improving life here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib8W9kBcaJU
Mark Cuban said about James Talarico: "I believe in him."
Jessica Tarlov said: "We have a billionaire on the stage. It's not me. He's one of the good ones."
Mark Cuban said: "I've given money for work to end #CitizensUnited."

Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us .
Dear Senator / Representative -
I want an absolute end to PACs, super PACs, and untraceable money in politics.
I recently read that the senate races in Texas are likely to involve more than $200 million in campaign contributions.
The ability of rich people to donate unlimited and often untraceable funds is shattering our democracy, and for the sake of all of us, please do something serious about completely reforming how campaigns are financed.
If you can't end these back-room, ultra-wealthy influence peddlers completely, I want you to support the two bills in Congress now that can help take the voluminous darkmoney out of politics and help make sure that our government is truly a representative democracy.
They are H.R. 2352 and S.4602. Both would limit contributions to PACs to $5000.
I want full transparency. I want every political donation to come with the name of the person who signed the check or made the bank transfer. I want all of it public.
I want you to cosponsor and enact these bills and restore our democracy to the American people.

>> #Jeffries supports a "notion" of a concept of a plan. He's even sounding like #Trump now.
Yup!
#CitizensUnited and the #completeCapture of both political parties is why #EstablishmentDemocrats like #HakeemJeffries and #ChuckSchumer no longer represent us but only the #billionaires who fund them.
Their #goodCopBadCop charade is transparent to all but the blindest cultists. Too bad we are stuck supporting them despite all this.

A lot can be accomplished if we listen to and talk to each other 🙂
I voted for #KamalaHarris in 2024. I was once a huge #Biden supporter too. Abandoning the vote is not an option when we have only 2 parties.
Unfortunately, the #DemocraticParty also knows that they will get our votes no matter what.
They want our votes but they don't represent us. They represent #billionaires who hold both parties captive. #CitizensUnited is to blame.

⬆️ Reporter: "Do you personally support Medicare for All?"
#Democratic #HakeemJeffries: "No… I haven’t co-sponsored #MedicareForAll that has been introduced over the last several years…" #CitizensUnited 2010
Pressed again, #Jeffries concluded:
"it’s NOT legislation that…I support… But we do support the NOTION that we’ve got to find a path forward to fix our broken #healthcare system"#GoodCopBadCop

We should agree to disagree.
Believe what suits you, but don't you dare call #billionaires complete capture of both parties a lie.
I did talk about a specific problem: #CitizensUnited.
I also mentioned Biden could've expanded SCOTUS after #Jan6 coup attempt by using emergency powers. He didn't. Because of #GoodCopBadCop BS.
I never dissuaded people from voting. I'm going for #DSA. You can wallow in "When They Go Low, We Go High" BS.

⬆️ @chazh
>> Your inability or unwillingness to see through this is part of the problem.
First step in solving a problem is to acknowledge it.
We have a serious problem in this country, and that can be summed up in one word: #billionaires.
They've always had influence on #US politics, but since #CitizensUnited, they've succeeded in complete CAPTURE of both political parties who play #GoodCopBadCop, with Republicans ravaging and Dems enabling.

Wow. That's truly impressive. In Hawaii, they managed to work around Citizens United (the law that essentially says corporations / super PAC's can spend as much as they want on political lobbying)

Citizens United was a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that opened elections to unlimited corporate money. The rules changed — and the effects still shape democracy today.
