How did we get this far without quoting the proposal?
Oh of course! When talking Citizens United, one can not help but think of pinko liberals like the Cock Brothers and Art Pope who have been just all over this thing. Oh, and goosestepping? Hahaha... Yea, we were all goosestepping behind the CEO of Google to the polls in 2012.
Are you done trolling? I mean, I hope you are trolling because I can't take your opinions seriously. Then again... R-TX... So I can only imagine to what degree of a vile little **** you are.
No amount of lashing out is going to fix the underlying inconsistencies and disrespect for American citizens. Democrats know damn well that overturning CU will not fix anything, it simply restores the old-fashioned political paradigm which gives exclusive privilege of political influence to media and communications corporations.
It's a pointless endeavor and an irresponsible flouting of basic constitutional principles. If you don't like the effect dumb policy initiatives has on your reputation, don't support them. Otherwise, goosestep and be proud of it.
This isn't overturning CU, it's far, far broader. Giving Congress the power to pass limits on funding and not running into any constitutional challenges leaves the door open to the possibility of actual substantive changes, even if it doesn't guarantee them. If nothing else, several civic-minded states would embrace this and act as laboratories for far-reaching reforms with their state races.
