    Complaining about the problem doesn’t do anything. What does something is changing the incentives that politicians face; that means giving them both a carrot (the opportunity to earn votes) and a stick (in the form of credible negative consequences) for corruption, which has completely broken down in that it’s well-neigh impossible to prosecute any Republican unless they do something so extreme as to attempt a coup.

    I’ve been working on the carrot because it’s a key part of the process, and will continue to do so.
