Compelling thread that shows how #CitizensUnited has distorted the notion of "Free Speech" by corporations, to the point of impacting its own employees. Let's be clear it's not about 1st Am. rights, it's about the bottom line, which is all the more egregious.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1148731044935286784 …

I'll argue it does. With Citizens, Corporate PACs have significant influence to purchase politicians and votes that impact the corporation's bottom line - far more influence than individuals, and for that matter, employees.

The political gifts I am criticizing are direct donations to campaigns that have nothing to do with the Citizens United decision. I don't think the connection you're making in this case is defensible, though we probably feel the same way about C.U.
