I mean, that’s not nothing. Maybe not revolt, but organize, pressure sitting politicians and encourage better candidates to run. Americans vilify their politicians and then expect that somehow really “good” people will get into that profession. I don’t get it…

What I mean is that traditional avenues for change have been closed by the pharma industry lobby. It is not very different from the situation with the oil industry. The traditional political system has been corrupted by these industry forces, which support both parties.

  Could you tell me what traditional avenues were available to constituents that are not available anymore?

    Voting. Pretty much all candidates receive money from pharma.
