11. Same as it ever was. It takes time to build a winning constituency for any major change

It does not logically flow from that fact however that the sensible course defaults to halting work on building that constituency. We have moved much closer to achieving it over the last four years. The stronger we make the case, the sooner we will get there. We can't pass an amendment to repeal Citizens United through Congress now either. That doesn't mean we should stop advocating for that amendment.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
