Shitty take. “Congress” assumes republicans don’t exist.

Seizing on the specter of Russian election influence, they’ve ramped up their quixotic effort — with minimal effect — to blunt Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the controversial 2010 that unleashed a torrent of special interest spending on U.S. elections. In doing so, they’ve introduced two dozen bills related to money in politics.

Dems have introduced plenty of bills to address this including a constitutional amendment in Jan 2023. The article I quoted really only criticizes dems for not solving this 2010 issue back in 2008 when they used a majority to expand access to healthcare instead.

Mean while GOP leaders are on tape literally saying “putin pays two people, trump and rotabacher” (hint they are both republicans)

The issue isn’t CONGRESS it’s REPUBLICANS.

Im not lumping in Dems because they didn’t single handedly usher in a utopia in 2 years after Bush cratered the economy.
