The few of them that have come around are gone. With the SCOTUS
defining corporations as people and corporate campaign advertising as
free speech, there will never be another, unless the system is reformed
to become a true democracy instead of a de-facto plutocracy.
The ruling also applies to trade unions, so the commies can buy their
advertising, too. The fascists and commies can hash it out for us in
their ad campaigns.[...]
The corporations have much more money. Money = Advertising = Votes.
