To liberals: Why were you whining about the Citizens United decision?

[A Perez]

Obama beat the 47 percent guy and the trend suggests that a socialist will become President,as he is about to surpass the super rich Hillary, and he leads the even richer Trump. In general election match ups. Do you admit that you were grossly exaggerating the impact of that decision?

Because money is not free speech, and it takes a special degree of dishonesty to pretend that is it. Money is money, speech is speech, and they are two entirely different things.

Because I still think it was a bad decision- neither Corporations or Unions should be allowed to donate unlimited amounts of money.

Not at all. It is anti democratic and one data point or two does not give a clear picture of how unregulated, anonymous money can be used to influence our elections.

 

[A Perez]

None of you mentioned Obama's victories and the socialist's good prospect of winning. Pay attention.

Progressives will find some way to exempt Unions from any controls, don't you know that?

The issue is not that you want to take money out of politics, you want to take the other sides money out of politics.

"We don't hate speech, we hate YOUR speech".....hence all of the Conservative's attempts at passing laws to curtail freedom of speech.

1. if you do a call out thread, it should probably be in the flame section.

2. no one is "whining".... it was a terrible decision. probably the worst since dred scott.

3. the impact of the decision hasn't been exaggerated.

you're welcome.

I don't see conservatives trying to stop unions from spending money.

Now we do see them trying to stop unions from getting money from people who don't want to pay it.

Any form of campaign finance reform will be tailored to help the side making the laws, and hurt the side not in power.

And why anyone should expect any reply to a call out thread other than a flame is beyond hubris.

What campaign finance reform?

No politicians really want it- they want to be able to stay at the trough- and of course they are never influenced by the money coming their way.....

Citizens United's impacts are not isolated to Republicans. It affects the Democratic Party as well.

You're singularly focused on national elections. Think down ticket.

The only way to remove money from politics is to elect robots.
