The Supreme Court on Tuesday erased limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president, striking down a federal election law that is more than 50 years old.
Prodded by a Republican-led lawsuit that includes Vice President JD Vance, the court’s conservative justices were again in the majority of the latest decision that upended congressionally enacted limits on raising and spending money to influence elections. The court’s 2010 Citizens United decision opened the door to unlimited independent spending in federal elections.
America is dead. It is the fiefdom of billionaires.
They look delicious.
And they will continue to look delicious forever because we have no teeth, no wings, and they live in a palace 1000ft in the sky.
If you don’t have teeth you can buy them, they’re cheap. They don’t live in the sky, they have street addresses just like anyone else. If you really believe this needs to be done then quit making it out to be more difficult than it is and just go do it.
Get a ticket to New Zealand and some new hobbies. I believe in you.
I’m not Elon Musk, I can’t buy a revolution. One person doesn’t have the “teeth” necessary to actually do what the “eat the rich” people are talking about.
You can’t eat them all but you can definitely eat one or two. There’s only a few dozen of them.
I think at this point there are thousands of billionaires in the world. Most just fly under the radar and live lives insulated from interacting with regular folks.
We’ll see
I see NO Conflicts of Interest between ALLOWING Political Spending and the MASSIVE Vacations Gifts and Cash RAINING down on the Justices!
That would NEVER happen! There are UNWRITTEN MORAL RULES!
America: by the corporations for the corporations
Just turn elections into auctions and be done with it.
It would be a sadly fitting return to America’s true roots /s
Fuck these fucking fuckers. Corrupt down to the last one of them. I hope they enjoy the heat when this country starts to burn.
Also wanna remind them that when the apocalypse happens due to them letting these fascist fucks do whatever they want, that they are going to be worthless. All their greed and ass-kissing and possessions won’t matter dick. And everyone knows during an apocalypse, the worthless are the first to go.
So PACs no longer have to spend “without coordinating?”
What in the Kentucky fried fuck are these assholes thinking!?
They’re thinking that they like for fascists to be allowed to buy elections.
