#Democrats need to impeach the corrupt #SupremeCourt Justices & replace them with Justices who overturn #CitizensUnited & make all political donations public with a max donation of $25.00/person. And enforce equal time on every news outlet for both parties.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the SCOTUS decision on #CitizensUnited had a bigger negative impact than the getting rid of the fairness doctrine. The former let oligarchs buy stations to control the narrative, and the latter helped them buy the elections via ads running on those stations.

Get money out of politics has to be the platform for any candidate. Anything else is doomed to fail. Money has captured your politics. Repeal #CitizensUnited to start, limit single campaign contributions to $2500, American citizen only.
Next question.

Yet another reason why #CitizensUnited needs to be done away with.

"Before Citizens United, billionaires spent around $16 million on presidential elections.
In 2024, they spent $2.6 billion.
And what did they get for that money?
They got a massive tax cut for themselves from the Big Ugly Bill.

Citizens United was a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that opened elections to unlimited corporate money. The rules changed — and the effects still shape democracy today.

#AmmarCampaNajjar says overturning Citizens United is the key to fixing U.S. politics, arguing it drove the biggest transfer of economic and political power and must be reversed to restore accountability. #CitizensUnited #Politics #Reform

We didn't learn our lesson from the shortages of the 1970s embargoes and later allowed politicians to set policy dictated by the fossil fuel industry.
Ky's Mitch McConnell and his orchestration of #CitizensUnited becoming law was the final nail in the coffin. Now politicians are bought and sold.

He isn’t! Two Independent Branches of our American Republic along with all Papers of Record —have OFFED THEMSELVES, ENABLING A CONVICTED FELON TO TURNED USA IN TO A REALITY TV DISASTER SERIES!
BLAME BOTH BRANCHES!
#CITIZENSUNITED IS DISSOLVING AMERICA BEFORE OUR EYES. NO ONE IS STOPPING THIS!
It'll take a lot just to reverse many things.
We must Regulate Media Ownership again, end #CitizensUnited, tax all Corps, no wealthy buying themselves power. Elect "everyday people" that care about the 99% not just the 1% greed. Make voting easier. They can find us to tax & know our Address already.
This would make an incredible difference in getting oligarchs out of our lives. #citizensunited
There's a simple way for Maryland to get big corporations out of its politics: just stop giving them the power to spend money influencing elections. It's shocking, but it might actually work!

Nope, the billionaires would still be able to hold parties 🎉. DYK parties can be televised like the Oscars? That would allow billionaire-endorsed candidates more publicity.
Sadly, that's what Elon Musk did -- uncountable contributions. And he didn't need #citizensunited.
Republicans have been gutting Voting rights since voters heard Reagan degrading democracy, ended Unions, lost job security, gutted wages, left no job benefits, helped the 1% OWN OUR GOV with #CitizensUnited which lets CorpGreed BUY OUR LEGISLATORS to change their tax laws so the 1% pay ZERO TAXES.

Truly the dilemma of capitalism writ large and this is what we find.
Eliminating #CitizensUnited would be a tangible baby step towards restoration of that quaint old notion known as the #AmericanDream.
Look it up kids.
