Tiam this is a political comment board. That article makes an excellent point about the money in politics and how wrong it is. Is it one sided in that it is only talking about the dems money machine sure but that is where someone can post how the money machine affects the republican side as well. The bottom line is that our elections have gotten way out of whack with too much money buying races.

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), is a landmark U.S. constitutional law, campaign finance, and corporate law case dealing with regulation of political campaign spending by organizations. The United States Supreme Court held (5–4) on January 21, 2010, that the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for communications by nonprofit corporations, for-profit corporations, labor unions, and other associations.[2][3]

This is from Vox which as you probably know already is not a right wing site:
Citizens United is not to blame for the money-in-politics problem - Vox
It’s time for liberals to get over Citizens United
Most widespread in liberal circles is the idea that Citizens opened the floodgates to massive amounts of corporate spending in politics. But as many legal scholars have argued, the floodgates were already open. Citizens is not responsible for the massive amounts of money showered on favored candidates. Nor is it responsible for the rise of so-called dark money in politics.

vox is a liberal rag site thst benefits from the liberal side of this booldhit, so im not surprised something likevthat would be written there. Any site that has political advertising saw their revs explode after citizen u.

liberals are in on this now too, obviously. Money for everyone. Ofc congress is in on this too, CAUSE IT BENEFITS THEM. So no complaining now about too much liberal money in politics
