Certainly the work of people like Marc Elias is vital to our survival. But "we" don't do that, that is to say, few of us are in a position to do that.

But we are ALL in a position to interact with our politicians and demand/encourage them to fundamentally change the way they have been approaching things. We will not win with a grab bag of narrow special interest issues. The issue that is at the heart of the anger felt by the majority of Americans is economic unfairness. And Trump's cabinet of billionaire crooks is bringing that into focus for everyone. We MUST grab this opportunity. We may not get another chance as clear-cut as this.
