There are Democrats - Lawmakers: The US cannot afford another 10 years of Citizens United

"Does any modern politician want to close that massive affront to freedom? I highly doubt any would."

You still seem to hold a sense of false equivalence between the two parties. You are a thinking guy so i don't understand that.

Since the Citizens United decision, just 10 individuals have injected more than $1.2 billion .. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/reports/a-decade-under-citizens-united .. into our elections, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Secret money groups have poured $963 million .. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/reports/a-decade-under-citizens-united#dark-money .. into ads without telling voters who paid for them. And Americans have no way of knowing how much foreign money has infiltrated our elections.

But in Congress, Democrats are taking direct aim at Citizens United and fighting back against the scourge of big money in our politics. Early last year, we introduced the For the People Act -- a historic package of reforms to clean up corruption in Washington, expose secret foreign money in our politics, crack down on lobbyists, strengthen election security, protect the right to vote and return power back to the American people with clean, citizen-owned elections. Backed by every Democrat in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate, the For the People Act -- H.R. 1 -- passed the House in March, but it has gathered dust on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's desk in the Senate.

Thanks to the longstanding leadership of our colleague, Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida, Democrats have also introduced The Democracy for All Amendment, a constitutional amendment that would overturn Citizens United and affirm the basic fact that corporations are not people and should not enjoy outsized influence over our elections.
