I love this topic how x country “meddled” and “interfered” in our elections.
Go read 1: the Princeton study proving our “democracy” is a sham since the votes of the people have no impact on policy, and 2: the longgg Wikipedia article detailing all the foreign coups we’ve been involved in.
Let’s start with overturning Citizens United and congressional term limits, then we can talk about “meddling” in our politics.
- solardev 4y agoIf the people have no impact on policy, but our foreign coups can overthrow regimes, and foreign regimes can meddle in our elections... it stands to reason that the only way to overturn Citizens United is to fix a foreign coup and have the new regime turn around and interfere with our elections! There, problem solved.
- effie 4y agoCitizens United vs FEC is a Supreme Court decision, it will take another Supreme Court decision to revert it. Interfering in elections is done probably more so for influencing foreign policy, it does not guarantee any effect on Supreme Court decisions.

What about the studies that show campaign finances have very little effect on election wins? https://freakonomics.com/2012/01/how-much-does-campaign-spending-influence-the-election-a-freakonomics-quorum/ https://freakonomics.com/2012/01/how-much-does-campaign-spen...
