"Citizens United": The Travesty Of The US Political System

"The Supreme Court based its Citizens United ruling on the First Amendment right to free speech, maintaining that money is a type of political speech, and thus limits on political spending equate to limits on free speech. The ruling supercharged political spending. In 2000, approximately $1.6 billion was spent on Congressional elections. By 2018, the number had jumped to $5.7 billion. This spending has contributed to growing political polarization, a rise in crony capitalism, and the degradation of governmental responsiveness to the people."

If you disagree with this, just look at Sinema, Manchin, many other Democrats, as well as virtually all Repugnants.
