8 minutes on Obama’s first year by Lawrence Lessig
Yes! Portland is still fine-tuning its publicly funded campaigns, but Lessig hits the root problem on the head here. Right now we do not have politicians that care about serving us. They only care about maintaining the status quo through a fake wrestling match dressed up in suits and ties and nice dresses.
I believe that there exist among us true public servants who would work for the public good, but I don’t believe we will put many of them in office under the current system.
