Considering political bribes exploded after that ruling, it at least used to matter. Othereise they wouldn’t have bothered to instantiate it in the first place.
Not really? Eliminate capitalism is a goal, but just saying that contains no actionable steps. Repealing Citizens United is an actionable step that brings us closer to that goal as it removes legal bribery. Like I get it we like to joke here but in reality thats an actusl step we can take today to reduce the oligarch’s power and thats a good thing, Mark.
So you think we should say fuck it, leave the legalized bribery, its not worth doing anything if its not the complete destruction of capitalism? Is that a bit? Lmao
Legality only matters for poor people. CU just put it in writing

Bribes you actually know about exploded. If you want bribery to be illegal you have to eliminate capitalism.
Yeah but eliminate capitalism isn’t an actionable plan because its too broad. Repealing Citizens United is.
Are you…. Is this a bit?

In the same way electing AOC is maybe, as in, not at all.

Lots of actual tangible steps and organizing to be done but getting SCOTUS to overturn citizen’s united won’t accomplish a damn thing.
