The filthy Citizen's United judgement is killing off our democracy. It has allowed the scheming wealthy to infiltrate our government and change policies from democratic and constitutional to autocratic and what we now see as fascist. Our Supreme Court, conservative majority, is complicit and has done this to us in order to help the republican party in its strategy of taking over our country. If we were what we should be, a public financed electoral process, we would be getting candidates competing for our votes based upon ideas and policies. Instead we have the wealthy flooding our airwaves with disinformation and lies in order to confuse voters into voting for them.
This is what unlimited wealthy money does, it floods us with a narrative that the wealthy create in order for their candidates to be elected. Now if it were that the wealthy were flooding the airwaves with truths and policies that helped all of us it would still be wrong in that one segment of our society would still be controlling the narrative. We need no private money out there controlling the narrative and instead we need human beings who are candidates who are not beholden to any special money group except the citizenry of America. Then the ideas of the candidates would be what we were debating not some narrative supplied to keep us from advancing our society.
Never in the history of our democracy has the idea of a wealthy group put the interest of all Americans first before themselves so they need to stay out of narrating our politics except as individual citizens with equal influence as any other voter and no more than that. So when our nation finally does reverse the massively erroneous Citizen's United decision and returns our politics of elections to the public sphere where all legitimate candidates get the same resources and no more then we can continue to build our democracy with the intent of one person one vote based upon logic and enlightenment instead of confusion and diversion. We are better than what we are currently showing and those who are working at destroying our democracy will get their due when the rest of us get tired and say enough of being left with table scraps!
