> Citizen's United

Your comment is exactly why we are in the situation we are in now.

A ruling under an activist conservative supreme court that Obama opposed. One of Hillary's main credentials for a supreme court pick was that they'd vote to overturn Citizens United. It was a 5-4 court and Scalia had died. Citizens United decided 5-4. But America or at least the electoral college picked trump instead. So we got corruption pretending to be free speech and abortion bans instead.

Democrats could have picked a better candidate to fight Trump but they didn't.
