There is not the political will to do so.

Political will? The Supreme Court considers that unconstitutional.

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.

The people we have sent to Congress, in aggregate, do not have the will to change this law, and they are the ones with yhe power to do so. Not sure how that is unclear.

It’s like you have no idea of the role of the Supreme Court in our campaign finance regime and how they overturned laws that took a lot of political will to enact.
