Allan Lichtman has a point.

70. "The best way to make money is to win elections.'

Then you have the power to make as much money as possible.

Winning elections and power is the coin of the realm in DC.

That all depends on your constituency because if you don't respect them, they will throw you out of office.

If indeed what you say is true then our entire government is now corrupt on both sides. We have been sold out lock, stock, and barrel to the billionaires and our fascist enemies.

That was the point and end result of "Citizen's United".

I have to continually remind people WHAT prompted that case in the first place.

Simply put, it was a legal dispute over this -



A RW-loon produced purported "documentary" that was being used as a GOP anti-Democratic party campaign ad.

In other words, it was "electioneering" by a corporation, which was forbidden by the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law (Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002).

The SCOTUS disagreed and basically declared that "corporations were people" with 1st and 14th Amendment "rights, and they summarily tossed that law out.

I just don’t believe it yet. Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Raskin, Sherrod Brown, etc.

Their entire adult lives as public servants and they sell out our country for cash.

Raskin only got elected in 2017 so he is still "new". But the others have been in office both before and after Citizen's United and the whole ground shifted.

Sciff represents a district of MILLIONAIRES (Hollywood and the surrounding area).
Pelosi represents a district of MILLIONAIRES (the San Francisco elite who can even afford to live where she does)
Schumer originally took over the House seat of one Stephen Solarz (ewwww), who was caught up in the House banking scandal. Being in NY, he was friendly with of course "Wall Street". Then he became a Senator.

And in the case of Sherrod Brown - like other "swing" candidates, who did the same to Obama back in 2010 guaranteeing a Democratic wipe out in the House, he is "running away from" a popular incumbent who did "big things" because his consituency is a broad mix of liberals, moderates, and conservatives.
