One of the biggest obstacles facing workers issues in the US is the disproportionate representation that corporate interests recieve, due to funding campaigns indirectly through citizens united. Bernie highlights the end of citizens’ united, and public funding for political campaigns as key pathways to fix the outsized political impact of corporate interests
As long as corporate interests bankroll political campaigns, the people we can vote for will be elected partially at the behest of companies, and will have a conflict of interest in representing American workers
If you’re not already familiar with how the Citizens United decision works, it’s worth learning about!
