Dude, the USSC gutted the campaign finance laws with Citizens United in 2010. How can you not know this?
There are now functionally no laws to restrict campaign contributions and independent ads. Dark money floods campaigns. Because corps can make contributions foreigners can use corps to influence US campaigns. The USSC has gone bonkers with this. The Founders are spinning in their graves over this. Original intent, my ass.!!

Corporations can make contributions? BFD!
What about labor unions CONFISCATING dues from their worker's pay and sending them to candidates or political parties based on whatever the union leadership decides, regardless of what the individual worker thinks?
Worker's pay is private property, correct? THEY earn it. Not the union. You know damn well the democrat party (the DNC) has pushed and defended this support and position for the better part of 75 years.
And democrats pushing card-check to make sure workers are intimidated to vote the way the union (democrat party) wants them to vote by de-anonymizing their vote?
Don't lecture anyone on Citizens United.
