We had one chance to overturn Citizens United. It was by electing Clinton and her filling the open Supreme Court seat. Those staying home and going for Stein, Johnson and Trump nixed that.
I am clearly, deeply, and personally committed to getting $ out of politics. I live that message in how I campaign, despite it probably making for a longer shot at the goal post. However, we do have a problem with there being the political will to follow suit and change the law.

Regardless of what factors made that happen, it is. I agree with you very much that our system is paid off. Until we send different people it is unlikely to change. That's the closest we have to a national referendum...though we know in Maine how seriously those are taken anyway.

So you’re dropping the absurd claim that all we need is the political will to change the law? Good.

That’s utter nonsense. Truly. Read the court cases and come back with a real plan that takes those into account.

You change Citizens United by changing Congress, SCOTUS, or both. Right now neither Congress nor SCOTUS seem inclined to make that change. Not sure why you are hurling rocks when I am agreeing with you, but I freely admit it's 418 am, so neither one of us should be tweeting.
