If I remember correctly, Citizens United is what allowed PACs to spend tons of money indirectly for a campaign. When it passed I was still a liberal, and I remember all the shows extremely upset about this because they said it would help the rich bad republicans.
Looking back now, I believe it was a bait and switch. It was done to help the Cabal (both Dems and Rinos) with rich sponsors. They just made it sound like they didnt like it.
I am pretty sure that liberals will be extremely happy to overturn this - but personally I feel this is a win for us. We do not want Companies spending tons of money to be categorised as "Free Speech", which is what the lawsuit did.
We must have been lowercase liberals about that same timeframe... Good analysis, though I'm not qualified to speak about it with any expertise. 👍
Not a biologist, huh?
I agree! I think it’s ludicrous to allow companies to spend tons of money on campaigns. I also have a huge problem w/ lobbyists and really the way elections are funded in general but that’s a huge topic to get into. My only question with all of this going on right now is, doesn’t Trump have a PAC and hasn’t that PAC raised more money than the Reps and Dems? Just seems “coincidental” that they’re trying to pass this amendment now. I don’t trust them and they always have some ulterior motive to whatever they’re doing. 🙄
It's called projectionism.
