Post Citizens United, that’s going to require a Constitutional amendment. And the corrupt, bought politicians are the ones who would need to ratify it.

- asdff 9mo agoLet's not act like they weren't corrupt and bought before Citizens United
- parasubvert 9mo agoThis is unhelpful fatalism and actively dissuades reform. Not all politicians are "corrupt and bought". And further, there is an enormous difference before and after this Supreme Court decision. It costs money to run for office. Before Citizens United, it was hard, limited, traceable donations, from individuals. No corporations, no soft money, no legal dark money. Now money has flooded in, with far less accountability.
