Oh, there's so much more to it, I am not even going to go into details.

It would take a lot of time, effort and study to clear away the cobwebs and truly protect democracy. Our problems are systemic, if that helps. Capitalism is not really our friend is another way to put it. It isn't the friend of democracy, though it plays one on TV.

The choice will come down to that, in my opinion and the stakes will be high enough to make that clear.
