    "If there’s ever been a time to discuss serious campaign finance reform, it is now. We are sliding into a new era of American oligarchy, and unless we take decisive action, the integrity of our democracy is at risk.

    This is like saying, “hey, guys, we really need to talk about taking steps to prevent a fire,” as the house is burning down.

    I also wonder what their definition of “decisive action” is. I get the impression that it involves a lot of talking, and not much else.

      “hey, guys, we really need to talk about taking steps to prevent a fire,”

      So, like we’ve been doing with the climate since the 60’s?
