Yeah, but to be fair, I think it just codified what had been going on for a long while. Just another body blow to democracy, I’m afraid.[quote=“Grey_Devil, post:27, topic:103181”]
The argument sometimes is “Well you guys can donate money too!”, i still don’t see how a small group of people are expected to compete with corporations or groups of them.

There is also the issue of access. You and I can’t just have the same level of communication and access to the people working for us, as say, a rich, corporate donor. For one, even the most populist of politicians can’t meet with us all, or they’d do nothing else with their time. But for the average politician, bucketloads of money from corporations or the ultra-wealthy means being able to compete and giving the people who financially back your campaigns greater access is an accepted part of that transaction.
