Heidi Li FeldmanWe are going to need a wholesale reconstruction of the U.S. federal government if we are ever to restore anything like rule of law and pluralistic democracy in the U.S. I know I have said this before, but it bears repeating. If Democrats gain control of one or even both houses in the midterms they may be able to limit just a bit of what Trump, with Roberts Court, can do but that will be only a small patch on a government that must be completely overhauled. 1/
Mat Wright@heidilifeldman and this is the problem, far worse in the US now, but an example is British Columbia

Booted out by the more 'progressive NDP, but nearly 10 years of them and little has changed - unless a new government cleans house, it's screwed
