The only way to get that is for the people to choose the candidates which at this point we do not, and work hard to get real Democrats who will FIGHT these horrific policies and prosecute War Criminals and Economic Criminals without the BS that if 'we do that we will look too partisan'. Crime is crime, and for far too long the Dem Party leadership has been willing to look the other way, starting when Clinton pardoned all those Right Wing criminals. Maybe it started before that, in fact it did, when Nixon's gang, which included Cheney and Rumsfeld and others who resurfaced to continue their criminal activities. We should not be surprised when criminals are not only taken off the hook, but allowed back into positions of power, that they will be even more brazen.
It is the refusal to apply the rule of law for decades now, that got us into the mess we are now in.
And it's the people's fault as much as anyone else's. What do we hear each time someone suggests NOT voting for people who are willing to go along with the policies that allow criminals to go free?
The people have to step up because no one else, as we have seen, is going to change anything.
