(1,442 posts)Perhaps that sign will motivate my neighbors, who like to bitch about Individual-1, but who also didn't bother to go to the polls in 2016 to vote against him.

(4,370 posts)Citizens United has a not-so-small relation to this equation.
Once we regain control (notice I didnt use the word power here), this must be a top priority: repeal the empower of PACs over our election system.
Not to mention disenfranchisement of Democratically-inclined voters. And that involves voter roll purges, and other Reich-wing tactics.
This is a marathon, not a sprint to November 3.

(14,719 posts)It was a SCOTUS decision and based on First Amendment free speech issues. Might take a constitutional amendment to accomplish, which is probably impossible today (Dems would have to control 38 of 50 state legislatures).
I might be wrong, I know in some cases legislation has been rewritten to get around court decisions, but I don't think it would work with this court.
