The result of their decision is that free speech is still allowed and americans are still easily led idiots.
I notice you never address the topic of how this is good for democracy. You just defend it without knowing why or caring of the result.
So take the money out of politics. Guess what, americans will still be easily led morons who continuously vote for corrupt assholes, all in the name of beating the opposition.
True, but not the point
We, the people, are the problem. Americans need to shut the fuck for once and take a good hard look in the mirror.
True, but not the point
"Have I voted for people who I knew took money from big business"
True but every pol does it, thats the problem
"Have I voted for people who are in-step partisan hacks"
Geez, the repubs wouldnt have anyone to vote for. Everyone knows Dems are good at forming circular firing squads...but not the point
"Have I voted for someone that I didn't like, but wanted to beat the opposition"
See post above, not the point
"Have I voted for someone based off of one minute commercials"
No matter who you ask this question too, every one of them will say no. No one admits to being influenced not even the easily influenced. Not the point
"Have I voted for someone based off of what they said now, even though it flies in the face of what they've said and done in the past"
True, but not the point
Our government, as corrupt, dysfunctional, and divided as it is, is exactly what "we the people" have been voting for. We could easily and simply vote for people who don't take money from big business, but we won't because we care more about winning and beating the opposition party. Buyers regret doesn't mean shit if you keep what you regret.
I dont think there is ONE person who runs for office that does not take money from big business. So you are right, people should vote for imaginary guys.
