    What do you think Citizens United did? Overturning it would have very little effect. The things you don’t like about money in politics, super PACs, corporate person hood existed before that case and are heavily entrenched.

    Otherwise I totally agree, having PR not be a state is a disgrace, and having DC controlled by the federal government and without full representation is a farce.

      Citizens united is the largest of a series of court cases that skewed power to the ultra wealthy. The mention of that is a starting point but beyond that it would allow more strict regulation of how corporations can spend their money.

      Realistically there’s over a dozen supreme court cases that need to be overturned and if you want an idea what those are at this point I highly recommend a podcast like 5-4
