In terms of how we fight, I don't think any existing cryptocurrency community is providing any help. IMO, the way to help is to empower our democracy such that it represents the will of the common person. Getting people to vote and reversing decisions like Citizens United feels much more potent than any current or proposed protocol.

A government is simply a corporation with a monopoly on the business of violence. Democracy is unique in that it's a corporation owned by the employees. Let's make it work for us instead of trying to beat or force its hand through tech. That won't work.
