Didn’t romney champion the Citizens United bill which was basically like throwing a lit match into a pool of gasoline for enshittifying the political process
Not that the process was great before but no one who considers “corporations are people too” ever had an average american citizens best interests in heart
Corporations are people. They’re groups of people working for a common goal. If those people don’t have free speech, neither do other groups, like political parties for instance. You do not lose your free speech rights when you are in a group.

And yes the biggest problem coming from citizens united is that it further equated money to free speech/representation
Which is directly contributing to every individual’s rights to representation rapidly eroding

In other words, the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances?
Yeah far as I know there’s no amendment for that
