Citizens United MUST be defeated. Everyone is missing this main point about this 2020 election.

CU literally funds this shitshow and all the voter supression we have seen in this election and in previouss ones. As soon as we can get control of the SCOTUS Citizens United must be thrown under the despot bus.

in drawing boundaries/lines/etc., for example, look at how much we raised on Act Blue this election cycle...I agree though, there are some things wrong, as if allowing untold amounts of money into our elections, considering that 5% of the population has most of the money, so in effect, their voices are heard far more than ours because of the sheer amount of money. This doesn't sound right to me or is fair.

it has been part of the platform of most democratic politicians including Joe Biden to get rid of it. It requires we get control of the senate .
