Compared to the alternatives, CU was a blessing. I see it as kind of like "Its better to fight them over there than over here" kind of issue...Count me as 100% supportive of Citizens United.
Let's suppose that the alternatives actually were worse for the democratic process. That doesn't mean Citizens United is in any way an organization that an intelligent and rational
Homo sapiens should stand behind.
Citizens United's approach is a repression of free speech of the people. Its philosophy is one that diverts political power into the hands of the .1%. So political elections can now be bought in the United States.
Which is also known as oligarchy.
And I'm not sure that's a kind of political environment you actually want to be in.
But yeah. The United States political process is basically oligarchic in nature, thanks to the valiant efforts of Citizens United et al.
But free speech for individuals is under assault.
Umm, not really. No. It's not. What makes you think that individual free speech has becoming increasingly more curtailed?
