I have been following Robert Reich on YouTube for quite a while. I think his videos are spot on and his explanations are so clear for any lay person to understand.

Here is his take of the lack of leadership in this country. In particular he calls out the powerful oligarchs in this country, but he also ends saying leadership is up to us, the common person. I definitely agree with him on the oligarchs. Even if we impeached Trump, we'd still have the same problems because the Oligarchs have the power in politics with their extreme wealth. They help politicians get elected and the politicians make the oligarchs richer and more powerful.
