- bryanlarsen 2y agoIt has everything to do with CU. They haven't fixed the loopholes because of CU. The association thing is a red herring. Pretty much every other country in the world has a reasonable solution to the problem. If the limit is $2000 you can spend $2000 on your own or an organization can spend $2000 on behalf of you, or some mix.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoSure, and citizens united doesn't prevent that. It says that your ability to send $2,000 doesn't go away when you are part of an organization. If a corporation has a million shareholders that can each spend $2000, that is a hell of a lot of political donation.
