...anything decent this nation ever accomplished. A man who allied himself with Immoral, Un-American, Christian Nationalists who were hellbent on corrupting the institutions and processes by which our will is measured and made manifest.

And that would just be the start of the eulogy that man's life has earned.

May his legacy be a complete transformation of the broken system that gave rise to him.

A ban on PACs. Law reversing Citizens United. Meaningful limits on campaign contributions. Ethics reform on a scale never before seen. No more gerrymandering. Laws that ensure the most free and fair elections we have ever had. Massive fines for any jurisdiction that under-allocates resources in ways that create waits of more than an hour to vote.

Prosecution of the criminals who have violated the public trust to enrich themselves, obstructed constitutional protections, violated separation of powers...

So much more...
