I don’t understand how anyone could’ve learned about citizens united and thought it wouldn’t end this way.
I am from Canada. I still remember my social studies teacher bringing up Citizens United and asking us all what we thought about it. I still think about our naive answers years later lol.
they knew exactly how it would end, thats why they did it
Article is from 2015
Its still true
Sure but this is a news community. This link is objectively not news
That doesn’t make it less true.
I love that Jimmy’s still out here as a presidential Yoda dropping knowledge bombs at 99.
I mean this is an old article (2015) but up until 7 mo ago when he entered hospice care he was continuing to do good left and right it seems like.
I feel like he is one of the few politicians that wasn’t a corrupt asshole. We need more like that at all levels of government to walk back all the corruption. Hard to get a critical mass of non corrupt jerks though. The greedy sociopaths are drawn to political office like moths to flame.
PS: happy bday JC

Jimmy Carter criticizing the evil system he helped create:

It’s tempting to pretend he tried
No shit Sherlock. Thanks Citizens United! Legalized bribery and made corporations into legal persons.
… He’s still alive?
