    Now is the time for them to start laying the groundwork for actual changes…

    • things like barring lobbying funds from politics (I know, it’s the Dems, they’d never do that)
    • anything that claws back the government’s power and brings mega corps to heel (naïve, I know!)

    The trump terms have demonstrated that there aren’t enough checks and balances because the GOP have demonstrated following the rulebook is optional. If we can’t rebuild democracy, we must harden it.

    (I’m a kiwi with no skin in the game here, but now is the time to really start pushing, not celebrating)
