      That’s easy to say, but making it reality is a harder task because of gerrymandering, voter suppression, racism in the justice system, and of course the giant disaster of campaign financing, which guarantees that corporate lackeys are going to fill congressional seats in large numbers…

      And I’m not saying we shouldn’t try. But don’t rush to blame “the people” when many of us are trying quite hard to effect positive change. Or blame us, if you want, but then you’ll be helping maintain the status quo.
