Liberal billionaires in politics are not the problem. Conservative billionaires in politics are the problem.
Precisely why Sanders only want to overturn Citizens United for conservatives.
yes indeed....... and it is all such a fake alarm too....
IF he ever got the court to reverse its decision, does he imagine that would stop ANY billionaires from using their money any way they wish....?
of course not.
he wants rich leftist Nazi/IslamoNazi/Communist billionaires like Soros to continue bankrolling the socialist agenda and leftist candidates
he wants labor unions to continue to donate donate donate to his leftist, collectivist candidates and causes
but he doesn’t want conservative billionaires or corporations to be able to donate any money at all
people do what they wanna do. THAT may be the weakest link in the leftist world view, thinking that all they have to do is write another regulation and people will happily comply.
people don’t behave that way, never have and never will.
people obey just laws not unfair one-sided dictats
unwinding all the damage Obama has done... will take time...but a lot of it will unravel naturally... is unravelling naturally even now.... as people refuse compliance
a recent elderly friend had 9 doctors (they all specialize nowadays). NONE of the 9 said he would accept Obamacare patients. NONE. The Obamacare patients are right back where they started ... waiting on line at the county hospital to be seen by anyone who happens to be on staff that day. Oh yes, but now with larger deductibles and higher premium payments.
When I was growing up, the collges were FULL of drugs; a son of a US Senator friend tripped out on magic mushroooms and was in a padded cell in the lunatic asylum the last time I saw him. you could smell the MJ all over campus (except where the nerds were, ha). No laws or rules or regulations could stop people from doing what they wanted.
Does Bernie think any new ruling could possibly stop rich folks from donating to the causes or charities of their choice? Even if he got the ruling he wants, not much would actually change. He’d have a victory he could trumpet, yes. The donation money would, however, continue to flow
He need look no further than all the illegal IslamoNazi money that went into Obama’s campaign, or all the illegal IslamoNazi and other dictator-sourced money that Hillary has collected (extorted, whored herself out for, you choose whatever phrases fit your viewpoint the best...the money is still in her bank account)
No, Bernie, your proposal may make you feel good but its a giant waste of time otherwise.
