A new sweeping poll done by the NY Times/CBS finds that a whopping majority of Americans from both parties are sick of the influence unfettered money has in politics.
A new NY Times poll was just released that targets the insane amounts of money being funneled into politics ever since the Roberts Court decided corporations were people and the results are staggering. I expected there to be a decided break between Republicans and Democrats since Republicans fought for years to overturn every aspect of campaign finance laws, but that was not the case. The sight of so many monstrous Super PACS have even turned off the hardcore faithful and the stats aren't even close.

(55,981 posts)Ironic that Citizens United came from an attempt to defeat HRC, but this time around it looks like Citizens United may help her "win" the WH.

(15,335 posts)The Fux Not News network already has its zombies encamped in their barcoloungers. They couldn't GAS about issues except some dork or bimbo that gets their heart pumping a bit more than zero/sec.
These people also aren't going to change their brain-dead opinions about anything. They may file absentee ballots from their nursing homes (handily run by RW maggots) but they are not going to interact with the candidates or the issues. Of course, we need to question who actually fills out those ballots, but that is another - much more important issue.
