Need to un-fuck the Supreme Court cost and foremost; Biden’s proposal is definitely a step in the right direction. However, it’s going to be a long struggle to undo all of the damage from the last 8 years, and rebuild the public’s trust in the institution.

Citizens United is only the last in a long sequence of bad SCOTUS decisions that need to be overturned.

Let’s take all the money that currently gets spent on bullshit pork barrel projects because all of this is how our political campaigns get funded
