It’s too late. Citizens United means corporations and the ueber-wealthy can do whatever they want. McCain-Feingold represented actual progress in this area, and it’s gone now. We are going to witness heavy fascism in the US, and I wish I knew what to do about it. Other than somehow prevent Peter Thiel from escaping to New Zealand, since it’s partially his fault and he should have to reap what he sowed.
(Tangentially, Feingold was one of the smartest people in the Senate. Wisconsin voted him out in favor of Johnson, one of the stupidest people in the Senate — the only thing that keeps him from the top spot is just the fuckload of really dumb other Republican senators.)
