Lessig sees the corruption of representation in government and the general election, and laments that Clinton didn't really want to fix it, not really.
The Clinton campaign fixed the DNC primaries, denying people the choice of who would represent them. The choice of candidate was made before the primaries started. Clinton's position on corruption was clear before the campaign started.
