    Rahm Emanuel's strategy worked. The Democrats have traded their working class voters for affluent suburbanites and Corporate America. Even the US Chamber of Commerce is solidly behind Joe Biden.

    This sets the stage for a worse Trump to come in and direct working class anger at people with no money and no power. Leftists who criticize Kamala Harris will be called sexist and racist by liberals. It's already happening.

    We've known all along that the plantation society of Democrats were always the elite in this nation. We've known this. Bought and paid for, just lie the elite want them.

    trump is crazy and only the cult members that attend his ole time revivals cannot see his insanity

    a trump rally is nothing more than an ole time revival ...

    remember Elmer Gantry?? trump is nothing more than a modern day ELMER GANTRY

    the cultists say they agree with trumps policies

    trump has ONE policy...UNDO whatever Obuma did

    the wealthiest zip codes want a sane president....they know trump is crazy

    in business , bankruptcy is just another tool to protect personal assets

    pay yourself millions, then bankrupt the corporations and protect the personal assets

    .a legal business decision ...trump has did it 4 times

    if trump bankrupts the country , the chinese yen will become the worlds currency

    rich people know this and need a sane person to be in the whitehouse

    Wrong. Liberals need to come to grips with this. They have no class consciousness. 8 years of Obama neoliberalism gave us Trump.

    You guys really crack me up.

    The Republican Party is responsible for the Citizen's United decision that allowed all of these enormous amounts of money into political campaigns, but if Democrats take advantage of a situation that the right insisted upon creating, you all make a big issue out of it.

    You can't even see your own hypocrisy.

    You don’t mind big money pouring into the DNC from big labor unions. Plus those unions usually ignore the will of the membership.

    Yes, I mind very much that large amounts of money, regardless of the source, end up swaying election outcomes. How about you address my actual post instead of guessing what I support or don't support.

    There’s nothing wrong with the citizens united decision. Corporations are a conglomeration of people. Just like a labor union or any other organization. Why should they be silenced?

    No way.

    Lunchpail Amtrak Corn Pop Regular Joe Six Pack is backed by the workin' man.

    And they'll vote for him to ban fracking and put them all out of work, or they ain't black!

    Read this, then you tell me:

    https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explained

    "The justices who voted with the majority assumed that independent spending cannot be corrupt and that the spending would be transparent, but both assumptions have proven to be incorrect."

    "... perhaps the most significant outcomes of Citizens United have been the creation of super PACs, which empower the wealthiest donors, and the expansion of dark money through shadowy nonprofits that don’t disclose their donors."

    "A Brennan Center report by Daniel I. Weiner pointed out that a very small group of Americans now wield “more power than at any time since Watergate, while many of the rest seem to be disengaging from politics."

    Short version: rampant corruption of our democratic processes,

    Because it allows a wealthy few to rule over everyone else.

    The citi
    The citizens united decision is a decision which supports the idea of freedom of speech. It’s just speech you don’t approve of.

    Big money in politics did not begin with Citizens United.

    Great, another rightie telling me what I think or feel. You guys just can't help yourselves, can you? You're projecting, in this case.

    Amazing that you believe it's about free speech. I've read the actual decision, and yeah, it talks about free speech, yada yada yada ... but it's about money. I don't like that much money in our politics, no matter who pours it on.

    No, but that decision opened up the big money corporate floodgates.

    I don't think that it is going to be the wealthy affluent suburbanites vs the working class. The biggest change with Trumpism is that he has disenfranchise many college educated voters. Trump's largest segment of support comes from non college educated voters. Many of these college educated voters are or will become the wealthy affluent suburbanites that will run corporate America. There are also many college educated workers that will or did not find great jobs and have a ton of college debt barely scrapping by that will probably embrace the socialism ideals preached by Sanders and co.

    The Democrats are controlled opposition. They pretended to oppose Citizens United. Pelosi's House passed Trump's entire legislative agenda. The Dems fast tracked Trump's judges. They chose not to block the nomination of Amy Coney Barret.

    Chose? There was nothing Democrats could do to block that nomination.

    A very conservative group got the Citizens United decision pushed through the court. They should have been careful what they wished for, because the Democrats are using that decision to pour boatloads of money into campaigns, just like Republicans have done in past elections.

    The only reason that some of the conservative PACs and SuperPACs aren't matching the Dems in fundraising this year is because far too many of them have had more than their fill of Trump and don't care if he gets re-elected.

    If the Republicans can do it for a year, the Dems could've done it for a month.
