(9,086 posts)Just because 2 million people voted for something doesn't make it a good idea. Winning elections certainly doesn't prove that you're right. That's why Republicans get elected so much.

(13,570 posts)Over the years the "establishment" has provided:
Social Security
Medicare
The EPA and Clean Air and Water Laws
Civil Rights Laws
Infrastructure Development
Education Funding
Small and Medium Business Development
The Affordable Care Act
The Economic Stimulus Act Saving Us from the Second Great Depression
The Auto Bailout Saving the American Auto Industry Which is Now Thriving
And MUCH more. Sure, we need significant campaign finance reform. No one is disputing that. But simply trashing "the establishment" is also shortsighted. It's not that simple.
