General Discussion

despite their elitist, misogynist and (for some) racist attitudes (a Jefferson addition to outlaw slavery was knocked down for expedience) ...

1. Probably would not have allowed "Citizens United" to override "one man (I told you, misogynist) one vote".

It is almost entirely a money game. One dollar, one vote. YMMV (Your Millions May Vote)

2. I also think they would not have allowed a Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to happen, allowing almost unlimited hate and lies to pervade public information sources not only unimpeded, but amplified and filtered by media owners.

THESE WERE DELIBERATE DECISIONS that have ruined democracy, and turned it into the oligarchy that they de-facto had, but tried to legislate away.
