What we really need is decent people to get together and agree on a general vision and goals of what needs unfucking.
We need a long game plan to fix things. Stuff like fixing broken congressional representation (Expand the House and bin the Senate), undo citizens united, break up oligopolies and monopolies, reform campaign finance and eliminate lobbying, do some form of ranked choice voting, no more electoral college, establish congressional term limits, and things along those lines.
The whole Senate thing needs to just fuck off. We need to re-architect checks and balances. Impeachment doesn’t work. Voters should be able to recall any elected official.
