We need to get big money out of politics and reform our electoral system.

If you are surprised by the current state of affairs, may I suggest rereading US history from an Indigenous or Black perspective?

So so good! This is so perfectly stated.
article snip: Only when you stand a little closer, or when circumstances make you a little less blinkered, do you notice the fact which then becomes blinding and finally crazymaking, which is just that there is zero, less than zero, stress put on the relation between those two "sides," or their histories, or their sponsors, or their relative evidentiary authority, or any of article snip: Because what this sort of reporting ultimately means is that if you have enough money to get somebody, anybody, to produce a white paper for you, which you can then put on some think-tank stationery? Then, my friend, you are ready to enter into the rushing current of elite reportage. For no matter how unhinged the position you've taken, or paid someone marginally credentialed to sketch out on your behalf-"Can Woman Think?: We Investigate," "Is the Negro a Man: A Reconsideration"-that opinion will, by virtue of such provenance, possess all needed evidentiary gravity for the Times. And then some. (Only yesterday the Times ran this actual story, which is not parody.)
