What law do you enact? What do you do? Oh, gosh, there's so many. Probably something around voting rights, but also related, I would say something around campaign finance. If I could get rid of Citizens United, if I could take all the dark money out of politics, I think that that would be really helpful for our democracy. It would change a whole lot, would it not? Yep. It would actually maybe ensure that the decision is made by the people. Correct? Yes. And that's. That's the goal. (37:15–37:22)
