Okay. But we still need to overturn #CitizensUnited and take away the ABILITY for billionaires to donate large amounts in the first place. That needs to be the primary goal. And I don't think most politicians-- in either party, including #EstablishmentDemocrats -- will ever be willing to do so. Backing politicians because they push back a bit against #IncomeDisparity is fine; but by itself, it is merely a small temporary victory, and is doomed to be a neverending uphill battle. #OverturnCitizensUnited #Oligarchy #Technogarchy #Democrats #Progressives #ProgressiveDemocrats #WealthGap #Billionaires #BillionaireTax #TaxTheRich @Npars01@mstdn.social @gert@social.coop @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

@AnneTheWriter1@universeodon.com @gert@social.coop @georgemonbiot.bsky.social Citizens United - top priority It's weird though. Americans seem unbothered by the fact that foreign billionaires are buying their elections Petr Aven, Vadim Moshkovich, & Alwaleed bin Talal gave Elon Musk the money to meddle in US elections Putin has openly said he spent $300 million to buy Brexit & get Trump elected Billions are being funneled into GOP coffers from straw donors hidden in PAC's, DAF's, corporations, hedge funds

@AnneTheWriter1@universeodon.com @Npars01@mstdn.social @gert@social.coop @georgemonbiot.bsky.social You don't think establishment Democrats will vote to overturn Citizens United based upon what evidence? Let's be clear about who has failed this country based upon the evidence. A full 12% of Bernie Sanders supporters voted for Trump, without them, Hillary would have become president and appointed three non corrupt Supreme Court justices. I would argue there is much more evidence the Bernie crowd is the issue.
