It doesn’t take effect until 2027. So they have plenty of time to overturn it and keep cheating for the midterm elections.

Hold for the supreme court overturning it in 4... 3...
I'm sure Clarence Thomas has a gift about it. Wait, did I say "gift?" What a silly thing to say. I meant "opinion."
not sure it will have any effect in federal politics but love it at the state level
It will once it gets appealed up to SCOTUS and the right wing bought & paid for majority slips it back over.
How very ridiculous, now watch how the feds will bend over backwards to keep Citizens United and corporate cash; it's been a windfall for our poor beleaguered representatives who just need money even though they already make more than the vast majority of their constituents.
Good job, Hawaii, thank you! (will the governor even sign? let's watch)
In Hawaii's two houses, only one rep. voted against it.
Citizens united was one of the worst things to happen to U.S. citizens.
(will the governor even sign? let's watch)
Hard to say. A brief look at Josh Green indicates to me he's a true public servant being Democrat and having spent 2 decades as a physician.
This is a state which was once a kingdom, but private corporations slowly encroached on it in the guise of improving its standing in the world, until the oligarchy launched a takeover which deposed the kingdom completely then systematically handed rule over to the US.

Meanwhile, Delaware is making it so corporations can vote there.
Jesus, no way? I can't look that one up, my brain can't handle it right now. Logging off the internet for the night...

Corporations literally just won the right to straight up vote in elections in Delaware…
Ugh. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
Which bill are you referring to?
Quick search, I found this from Reuters
Holy shit that is insane
Judge rules Fenwick Island's corporate voting does not dilute human votes
So I can buy a building and sell closet space to other companies (which I also own) for infinite voting power. This is absurd.
Yeah, it seems like a very simple argument that since every individual owner of a corporation gets a vote, that the owners as a group should not get an additional vote.
I mean, the courts are no longer about what's logical or fair, obviously, but still.
What’s preventing a megacorp from buying a bunch of small shell companies and voting in their own best interest?
I am curious how the voting actually works, though.
"However, plaintiff has not demonstrated that this policy violates the principle of one person/entity/one vote."
Never in my life have I ever seen it written this way.
I also like the note about there being “far more corporations” in DE than residents. So I guess this is just a case of it not having been demonstrated yet. I wonder how much it costs to license a company in DE. I wonder how hard it would be for the Internet to absolutely make these morons eat their words. 2 elections? 3?
$110 to file an LLC, plus $300/yr fee.
- Delaware has a turnout around 500k voters.
- Assume say 25% are absolute morons who will swallow any propaganda you put out.
- $41 million + recurring $112 million buys you enough corporate votes to win every vote in the state.
- Welcome to Shadowrun without all the fun parts.
I like that except they will definitely find a way to undercut that right quick just like they did with the GameStop stuff, illegally I might add
So, the ruling requires you to own land.
So someone should buy a few acres and sell 1x1 foot lots for a boat load of money.

The power to create and limit corporations has been the exclusive power of States for 200 years and upheld multiple times in SCOTUS.
Devils advocate:
You're also sure it will be upheld under this SCOTUS?

Love it.
Just kinda sucks that your rights are dependent on your zip code here in the US.
Kinda the point of state's rights
Always has been 🔫
I mean, personally I'm glad I at least have rights in my state rather than being stuck with the lowest common denominator of bigoted shitbag decision making.
