The DNC passed laws to remove money from politics, Republican SCOTUS judges tore it down in Citizens United, and they've lacked the power to make a constitutional amendment or reform the court ever since but they're always talking about it.

If people didn't trust money in politics it would be in their best interests to elect 60 DNC senators.

They’ve had complete control of the government multiple times in the last decade or so, and they failed to do anything with it. Democrats only talk about reform when they aren’t in power. When they’re wearing the boot, they’re fine with stepping on people and demanding they lick it.

They haven't had 60 senators since 1979.

That wasn’t my argument, but nice job avoiding it.

Oh yeah they haven't had control but they had total control right? Thats your argument? About what I expect from you murder cultists.

Yes, when you have the majority in both houses and hold the presidency, that’s control, you absolute buffoon. Now do you want to open your mouth again, or do you figure you’ve embarrassed yourself enough for one thread? Honestly, how you even manage to tie your damn shoes is beyond me, because it’s obvious from your barely put together sentences that you have the intellectual capacity of a rather large moss-covered rock.
