As opposed to arm chair quarterbacking.

It seems to be working.

We'll have to see how far populist Obama takes it.

Oddly, no one else is working to end Citizens United, a supreme court ruling which allows unlimited campaign donation funding from corporations and individuals such as the Koch brothers, effectively turning the US into a Fascist country, by the dictator Mussolini's definition of Fascism, being corporate control and influence of the state.

Bernie Sanders gets this one, but you will not see its immediate overturning on anyone's ballot. Voting will not change this. And a Constitutional amendment will not change it anywhere near in time to stop it from strongly effecting this election.

Well, some people work against the Fascism. That would be us. Thank you for your support. Fascism, you know and all that.

...Bernie Sanders constitutional amendment to shoot down Citizens United.

Whether it will effect this election it is unclear. We'll have to wait and see.
