          They’re also part of the same class. Their party color and public beliefs are just like clothing. Trump wanted to run as a democrat but they wouldn’t have him, so he went Republican.

            Yup they know what class they are in while we’ve got poor people thinking they share that class for some reason.

          Repeal Citizens United

            You can’t repeal Citizen’s United, as it is not a piece of legislation.

              You’re right, “repeal” is the wrong word but the right concept. The Citizens United ruling could be reversed by another Supreme Court ruling, or made moot on a state-by-state basis like Hawaii’s approach.

                Or a national legislation, sure. Or an end run by an activist FEC. Or, or, or…

                I don’t see a coalition of politicians ready to do this. Even the Hawaii case is heavily overstated, as its DOA in the courts. Like, I love to see the attempt, but I’m not bullish on the governor standing ground.

                  We’ll have to see how Hawaii plays out - if it actually does get overruled then that becomes a valid argument, but simply dismissing as “DOA in the courts” isn’t.

                    I’m just waiting to see if it gets enforced at all.

        just enough of them don’t do it to be a blue circle. Just enough dont do it so the motive for change has an outlet through controlled opposition.

          On average, Democrats are better than Republicans

            It’s not about who’s better its about recognizing how the system works against us all…

              But the way to change the system is voting for the better party

                A third party you mean? Lesserevilisim is why we are where we are, thus my meme and this conversation?

                  No? The world is where it is because the worse party was given the votes.
