23. This is precisely what she recommends is needed!
It is because of our campaign finance laws (which need an overhaul) that we have the media in bed with the GOP, voting machine companies having control over our election system, and Dems not willing to risk their financing to come out to push for this reform that there is a problem.

She's not trying to "blame Dems" for everything. She's asking that they take risks and change the whole dynamics of the system in Washington to get it back to be controlled by the people as our founders had set out to do, not be a country that is currently "We the corporations...", instead of "We the people..." If Dems don't take a stand in favor of this reform, they are part of the problem and not the solution.
