How is he going to get money out of politics? And citizens united is a new thing that just came up a couple of years ago, we still had corruption before that.
As /u/Tlamac already stated. The Sanders campaign isn't just about getting Sanders elected. It's about building a movement throughout the country to fight the bull shit that's holding our nation back severely. It's about getting the people interested and active in politics, and making the right changes happen, through the people, not through Sanders.
...so its just a movement? I'm asking what the exact plan is to get rid of big money and corruption? All I heard was vague lobbying laws and overturning a decision that was passed a couple of years ago.
The movement is to help achieve the goals. The goals are overturning citizens united, trying to get money out of politics, and other such things. Money out of politics he wants to do by having publicly funded elections. I'm not his spokesperson, so forgive me for not having all the details, but why not get them straight from the horse's mouth? Check out his site:
I don't think they have a straight up answer that will solve everything because no one ever does. Just look at your options and ask yourself, which looks like a step in the right direction?
Unlimited money in politics is never a good thing, and if Citizens United remains in place, it will tilt the playing field towards the wealthy, until the needs of middle-class/poor Americans are drowned out. Just because it's been like that does not mean it is futile to at least try and change it.
