Comment on Has the USA turned into an oligarchy?
djsoren19@yiffit.net 6 days agoI would argue that Citizen’s United effectively made it impossible for non-elites to meaningfully effect the US political process, forcing us down a road where only those who can raise the most money are considered eligible for political office.

That was already the case though. I’m not arguing we aren’t living under some sort of Oligrachy, I’m arguing that Citizens United was a logical symptom of that Oligarchy, not the start of it.
