Citizens United - gave corporations the same freedom of speech as
individuals with none of the responsibilities.

Campaign finance reform - the people receiving campaign donations are
certainly not going to police them, given...

No term limits - once you're in office, you're making money, legitimate
and otherwise for as long as you can get re-elected and stand up. Or
longer, now that the ADA, which they're abolishing, made way for
mobility scooters in the Capitol building.

Power - unadulterated. The elected hang on to power as long as possible,
not standing aside for newer, more capable representatives.

The representation in the legislative and judicial branch doesn't
represent the generation most represented any more.

Mitch McConnell - held up supreme court nominations then rammed through
Amy Coney Barrett while RBG was still lying in state and states already
started voting.
