1. At any moment, any random billionaire can disrupt any election in our country, thanks to our Supreme Court.

We have over a thousand billionaires in our country.

Any one of them can swoop in, throw a few hundred million dollars around, and overwhelm the donations of millions of regular American citizens.

It's the Wild West, except instead of gunslingers challenging each other, it is billionaires competing to buy our political system for their own ends.

And our Supreme Court says this is the original intent of our Founding Fathers, a claim they seem to have pulled out of their ass.
