    Nope. It’s money. Republicans are just a symptom.

    Get rid of Citizens United and watch how things change.

      Citizens united is also a symptom though, frankly I think we’re at the point where we either need a whole slew of constitutional ammendments, or a whole new one altogether, but I don’t see how either of those options is happening any time soon

      Getting rid of Citizens United would be a great first step but things were going downhill way before that. CU was just gas (continually) poured on an already burning dumpster.

      But you’re right that money (and the corruption/influence it buys) is the root of all our political problems.
