Harping on the eternal boogeyman that is Citizens United, after an election where Clinton almost lost to Bernie's small donor army and Trump overcame her significantly higher spending seems a little… much.
That so many people latch on to the outcome of a case, that was fundamentally about political speech against a very contentious political family, as "clearly wrong" because they are allergic to the large, varied nature of what a corporation can be made up of and equate it to always be evil money -- well they kind of lose me there too regardless of what side of the political spectrum you fall.
If you think Citizens United is bad, are you also against companies like Apple being vocal about climate policy or state bathroom laws?
