"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Brain Trussed
Democrats tried to undo the Citizens United ruling in 2010, the DISCLOSE Act passed the Democratically controlled house but was blocked by Republicans in the Senate though a majority of the Senate favored the bill. in 2012 the honorable Sheldon Whitehouse introduced a DISCLOSE Act 2.0 which, of course, the Republican-fascists didn't even take up. Yet Duncan's rump of rumps whines that the Democrats did nothing back then.
You would think that a Brain Trust (they really do call themselves one) would know how to google such things before they make such stupidly whiny complaints that the Democrats didn't do anything about it when they held all three branches. I found that information in less than two minutes by google search. Democrats tried, the stinking corrupt, slave enabling institution of the Senate blocked it just as they blocked anti-lynching legislation for decades as hundreds and hundreds were lynched.
That's one of the worst things about open comment threads, Facebook, tweets, . . . on the internet, every moron who is too lazy to research topics can misrepresent history to other such lazy morons who then believe they know something because their fellow morons believe it. They're the kind that billionaires foreign and domestic steer so easily, so many of them on the alleged left.
