10. They're standing up to the influence of money in politics.

As much as I agree with the sentiment of your post, it was pretty uplifting for me to see (on Periscope, since we apparently live under Ingsoc) the palpable relief that our representatives feel about actually taking action. I suspect that they feel just as beaten down by the state of our union as we do, and standing up against the tyranny of money in this way appears to be quite empowering. I hope that the claims made on the floor that this is the beginning of a movement on the part of the Democrats in Congress continue to hold!
