Very good essay. American democracy is at stake and there is no national discussion about *solutions*. I think the best minds on the subject need to devise a list of reforms and force a national discussion. I'm not sure how to foist such a slate of reforms into the national conversation, but it seems like funding ads and getting candidates of all stripes to answer to it would be helpful. It is a sign of how dire things are that the nation seems resigned to a dark fate and does not even bother to think about solutions.
