    In 2016, Dem candidate Larry Lessig (of the EFF) made election reform his entire platform, on the basis that it’s one of the main things destroying out country. He was laughed out of the race. He never expected to win, but to be laughed out … He was a Cassandra candidate; the soothsayer everyone takes as a fool.
