Do we have a marketplace of ideas if half the ideas in the marketplace are artificially boosted by billionaires’ money?
That doesn’t seem like a real marketplace to me. It seems like a cartel.
Free speech and free ideas are only free if they are chosen democratically.
The battle was lost when the Supreme Court decided that "Money is speech." That clearly says that people with more money have more rights.
I hoe you are right. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that we are 5 minutes to Gilead right now.
@rrb that was just the first battle. We have lost that battle but we will win the war.
The Fed Soc project to make money equal speech is wrong, it is perverse, and it leads to fascism. Expand the court and restore the real meaning of the First Amendment.
