      Well, in the end, that’s the ironic part. The american dream of freedom. You really got it. Sadly noone ever asked if that freedom should be for companies too.

                superpacs would not exist without that law. With the law superpacs have been deciding the canidates to choose from since.

                    whats really scary is that was passed by a better supreme court. Also its been over a decade and we will never be as free as we were before it till its ended. I can’t imagine what our current destroyers of democracy court will pass through. I hope internet stuff like this can be seen by future historians so they know folks were aware and against what was happening but pretty much powerless to stop it.
