Okay. But we still need to overturn #CitizensUnited and take away the ABILITY for billionaires to donate large amounts in the first place.
That needs to be the primary goal. And I don't think most politicians-- in either party, including #EstablishmentDemocrats -- will ever be willing to do so.
Backing politicians because they push back a bit against #IncomeDisparity is fine; but by itself, it is merely a small temporary victory, and is doomed to be a neverending uphill battle.

@AnneTheWriter1@universeodon.com @gert@social.coop @georgemonbiot.bsky.social Citizens United - top priority It's weird though. Americans seem unbothered by the fact that foreign billionaires are buying their elections Petr Aven, Vadim Moshkovich, & Alwaleed bin Talal gave Elon Musk the money to meddle in US elections Putin has openly said he spent $300 million to buy Brexit & get Trump elected Billions are being funneled into GOP coffers from straw donors hidden in PAC's, DAF's, corporations, hedge funds
