I mean look at Holder, who ends up at Covington when it's all said and done. At the same time, he was a mensch on voting rights and will keep fighting that good fight. So good people are getting good stuff done on the one hand, but you'd rather not see or know what's going on with the other.
It's not good enough, and people on the outside of the game sense it, even if we don't like how they vote. We've empowered money in the public space and weakened government. At some point, government will have to fully reassert itself, most likely after the next disaster, heaven forbid.
