now, can some elonsexuals explain how any of this is good?
imagine spending $450 million to influence elections and still pretending every citizen’s vote carries equal weight.
at this point, why even bother with elections? just let billionaires and trillionaires pick their own senators, representatives, and president. save everyone the trouble and expense of pretending ordinary voters have the same political influence.
citizens united fucked american politics for generations. unless that ruling is overturned or its effects are addressed through reform, money will continue to buy political influence while ordinary americans are told their votes matter just as much.
one person, one vote. apparently, some people’s money counts a lot more.
