Him, the Koch brothers and a small cabal of 'like minded' billionaires.
Hmm... you want to bet that the first order of business for a democrat controlled government, is going to be some pretty heavy duty election reform. Probably modelled after the 'spending' bill that's going though the house right now. Which hasn't a hope in hell of passing the Senate or the White House, but serves as warning shot across the GoP's bows nonetheless.
I'd much rather see them add a pledge to it to get Nancy Pelosi and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and all our other Congress people off the phone banks for the next four years so they can actually do their jobs instead of just trying to get re-elected. Until they can add that to their pledge I'll fail to be too impressed, since undoing all the corruption inherent in politics is probably going to take them a lot longer than simply getting them off those phone banks.
Current campaign finance laws blow monkey chunks, forgive my French. I don't know if either party or else just the Ds in particular get this, but campaign finance laws are at the root of most of the corruption that follows, and I bet other people see it that way, too.
