Citizens United was the right decision. Banning political campaigning by private entities just gives more power to entrenched political parties. And it's fundamentally unfair that I can't start a PAC and campaign my political goals, but the RNC and the DNC are given a free hand. Also, why can't a billionaire start a PAC and run campaign adds, but he can start a TV network and run propaganda? So, ban that too, you say. But that violates freedom of the press, which I assume you don't want to get rid of. Everybody must be allowed to campaign, because the alternative is having politicians decide who can and who can't, and they will never do this in a way that doesn't entrench their own power. |

No one did that.

They aren't. Donations to them are limited, too. https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/making-di...
