Alright, so, a thought occurred to me. Maybe you can help word this question.
I want to ask my Democratic leaders something, which is something like: "How are you, if you get back into power, going to prevent the sort of rampant power grab we're seeing currently? In other words, (given past record of centralization of power by Democrats), what actions will you take to restore and enhance the checks and balances inherent in the system?"
Basically--put up or shut up, for them. You say you (don't) want a revolution--give us a reason to trust in you, and then we'll get behind you and turn on the afterburners.
Some folks (Warren) have explicitly stated they'd, first thing, try to push through a stronger voting rights act (if we happen to have a democracy left by 2018); can we get all of them to say so, publicly? First, put out the fire; then see about righting the house.
