Its a great article, and for people making policy, defending rights, fighting corporations, it is a VITAL resource.

Al Gore should have been President.
When the Supreme Court stepped in and refused the right to have a recount, that was the first time I felt something was wrong with this country. You didn’t even need to vote in that election to feel something was wrong.
Citizens United should never have been approved by the Supreme Court.
Money should not entitle you to more rights, nor should a faceless corporation be viewed as a human being. That was another moment when I knew something was wrong. We basically failed common sense.
Bernie Sanders would be our President if the DNC did not ignore the voting population. It was broadcast on live TV and reuploaded to YouTube, where many Americans watched in disbelief as the opinion of the chair ignored the vote and said Hillary Clinton needed her turn, as if the presidency were an inheritance. They later even argued in court that, as a private party, they could choose whomever they wanted and that the primaries were only ever a formality.
Once more, now in his second election, Bernie Sanders should have won. Even The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Time magazine were asking, “Were we ready for a socialist?” and predicting he would win, only for the DNC to have a bunch of people jump into the race and endorse the last-place candidate, whose campaign had won nothing and was near bankruptcy: Joe Biden. I have never seen anyone endorse the last-place candidate except in that election.
Joe Biden was always going to lose a second term. He had only been forced upon us and put up with because people had had enough of Donald Trump’s first term. But the old man, along with the DNC, held onto Joe Biden running well past the primaries and did a surprise switch to Kamala Harris for the general election. Kamala Harris, who was so unpopular that she had dropped out of the primaries four years prior before anyone voted, was, of course, going to lose. The Pikachu face of surprise afterward was just sad.
The United States has a problem — many of them, actually. How our leaders are selected is one of them.

Another perspective:
#CitizenUnited claims "corporations are people" means an "association of CITIZENS".
Here's the fallacy: millions of corp SHAREHOLDERS r NOT CITIZENS, but r ALIENS living in the US & in FOREIGN countries!
This alone should disqualify the law entirely⁉️

@gleick Well, #scotus doesn't seem to have a problem with bribery as such, does it?
#citizenunited on one hand, and then there was in the past years I think at least some verdicts that narrowed the scope and made prosecution harder.
And yes, it seems roughly half of the voters don't care at all?

An awful anniversary: 15 years of Citizens United.
"Fifteen years ago, the role of money in politics changed dramatically. On Jan. 21, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Since then, election spending has reached unprecedented heights and, meanwhile, the public has less and less insight into the sources of that money."

@JoshuaHolland The #SCOTUS ruling on #CitizenUnited pretty much opened every loophole imaginable to allow billionaires to spend as much money as they want to buy and influence elections.
