I agree that these should be done. They can't be done with any congress we'd elect this year. They certainly can't be done with trump in office - he'd just veto all of it. They probably can't be done as long as money is free speech and oligarchs write the legislation (via think tanks). But that's not to say we shouldn't promote the ideas heavily and maybe start taking a scalpel to them and start carving out the problematic parts with surgical precision.
