    The basis for Citizens United was that the Lobby Group named Citizens United and several others wanted to use money to influence politics, a law drafted in 1995 by Democrats and pushed through in 2002 by Democrats stopped them, and technically they had the constitutional protection of free speech to influence politics with money as interpreted by the SCOTUS after hearings occurring between 2008 and 2010.

    There is no vast widespan conspiracy to dig into, it’s really that simple.

    Hillary Clinton’s approval was at one point 90% among registered Democrats. She’s been a political activist for so long that she shared a stage with Bernie Sanders during the civil rights movement (although she later had a huge gaff and asked where Bernie was while she was doing that because clearly she didn’t remember he was there with her).

    If you want effective democrats then put a majority in the house and 60 in the senate.
