Citizens United enabled the US government to be owned by corporations.

It’s a combo of 2 ridiculous legal concepts: corporate personhood and money=speech.

Granted that the case was an ideal test case, because it involved Hilary Clinton and the plaintiff was named Citizens United.

Nonsense. Read the actual opinion and then what the opinion actually changed in the law.

Are you serious? Juridical personhood is a “ridiculous concept”? Would you like to go back to living in the Dark Ages?

And of course private entities are allowed to spend money on political speech. How else would anyone be able to voice an opinion?
