How Is This Better?

Money in Politics: It Wasn't Always Like This.


Listen Later

In 2010, the Supreme Court of the United unleashed chaos with their decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In that ruling, they declared that corporations are people and money is speech. Fifteen years later, billionaires and dark money groups dominate campaign spending, leaving ordinary voters wondering if their $20 donations matter.

Featuring Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United, and Brian Derrick, co-founder and CEO of Oath, this episode explores how one court decision rewired American democracy—and what (if anything) can done to fix it.
