Citizens United ensured the power and ownership would stay with the right people. Right now it is not the voters, it is three billionaires, and their SuperPacs, controlling who is a presidential candidate, remaining in the race.

And some people laugh at Occupy. Occupy is so hated and crushed because they are citizens with a clear-eyed view, who won't stand for it anymore. They want their country, their democracy, back. Even the Wyoming State Supreme Court, the heart of Red Conservative Land, just voted that Citizens United cannot stand in their state.
