The name “Citizens United” in itself is such a blatant fuck you in the face of every citizen.
Pretty deceptive marketing. I bet the person who thought up that name was exceptionally proud of themselves afterwards.
Same with the PATRIOT act. Must be good if it’s patriotic right?
Yes. Either him or AOC would have been great. It’s not okay that they were blocked. I’m not okay with it.
AOC was blocked until now by not being at least 35 years old. Approve of that condition or not, at least it’s legitimately in the Constitution (unlike the bullshit that torpedo’d Sanders).
I’m ok with the 35 year old limit, I do think someone needs a good amount of life experience before leading a country. I also support limiting it at a max of 65 years.
Old enough to see some shit, young enough that your decisions affect your own life
She would be eligible this past election though, but it was pretty stupid all around. She would have been under 35 running, but over by the time she would be taking office, so eligible.
He’s too good for this cesspool.
Started with Gore when they stole the election and kicked off Gulf War 2: Electric Boogaloo, now we’re on the worst timeline. Bernie has been speaking truth to power for decades but the DNC fucked him over and now random people are being snatched up and deported to countries they’ve never been to.
We need to bring the Fairness Doctrine back and eliminate citizens united, but I’m not holding my breath.

I wouldn’t have picked Bernie for President (unless of course he was the nominee, I certainly wouldn’t vote for the Reich Wing!) but I’m 100% with you on the need to legislate away corporate “citizenship.” That still leaves too much power in the hands of extremely wealthy individuals, though. We need campaign finance reform across the board. Unfortunately, the corruption was built in at the start by the white landowning penishavers who wrote the Constitution. We ain’t getting change from this administration, nor probably anyone else who’s gonna have the funds to get elected.

Ex-fucking-actly.
It’s amazing how many liberals will berate leftists to “vote blue no matter who” out of one side of their mouths and then screech that “Bernie couldn’t win” out the other, even though the exact same arguments they tried to use in favor of Kamala would have equally applied to Bernie if he had been the nominee.
And the reality is, Bernie would’ve have peeled off huge swathes of disaffected/anti-establishment/accelerationist Trump voters that Kamala had no hope of reaching (especially after pivoting towards conservatism).
I preferred both Hillary and Kamala. I even voted for Hillary in her primary against Obama. Bernie just doesn’t do it for me, I don’t find him likeable or persuasive.
But I’m not a fucking idiot, and I wouldn’t screech or berate anyone because that’s not productive either. I vote in every election, large or small, and I obviously chose the Blue Nominee in all the Presidential elections. Even Biden, and he was the hardest to support.
