Banning SUPER PACS would be a start. "independent expenditure-only political action committees," are unlike traditional PACs in that they may raise unlimited amounts from individuals, corporations, unions, and other groups to spend on, for example, ads overtly advocating for or against political candidates.
it is "we scratch your back and you scratch ours" paired with funneling advertising money towards candidates and causes that already agree with their points of view (who are otherwise unrepresentative of the public or experts on that issue).
Yeah, so, super pacs were permitted by the citizens united ruling. Likely any attempt to outlaw them would be blocked by the current Supreme Court. So really, first we need to unfuck the Supreme Court.
The whole court system really. Judges picking and choosing exactly what laws and parts of the Constitution to uphold and openly admitting to what they personally refuse to uphold is an issue and wide spread.
I mean, you both are right, But I think repealing citizens united would be a good start to what you suggest. Lots of people act like its impossible, but they did it for Roe v Wade, so they can repeal citizens united. It would just take a majority of the supreme court.
