Republicans can kill this. All they have to do is insist that if corporations (large groups of people sharing a similar interest) are not people and therefore cannot donate money to political campaigns, then unions (large groups of people sharing a similar interest), NGOs, and private charities also all be similarly constrained.
This will absolutely gut the Democrat dark money funnel. They'll back off that quick, fast, and in a big, damn hurry.
Maybe it's all theater? It's the best they can do to pretend they're fighting for the everyman.
How could it be enforced? Big money organized donors will just find loopholes to skirt around the rules.
As an example, what would stop a corporation from incentivizing it's employees to "support" candidate X, and give said employees bonuses to further encourage "support?"
Iām okay with all that money going away.
