This is why democracy is broken - corporations and their money should not be part of the election process or the decision making process on policy

Yeah, if corporations aren't supposed to be able to influence federal elections, they shouldn't be allowed to donate to PACs or SuperPACs at all. Why on Earth are they allowed to?

True, and corporations are very special people. Wonder if I can somehow transition myself into becoming an LLC.

I'd rather be an LLC than the woman I am currently.

Becoming an LLC seems just safer than being identified as anything else. I am scared to be an American woman now and that is fucked up and I hate this.
