But we need our elected Democrats to stop promoting laws for a surveillance state as well.

I think a big part of that will be to ban Congress from insider trading and ban unlimited dark money and PAC money. Campaigns need be legally required to know and disclose where every cent being used in their campaign came from.
How we got to this point, where the courts decided that money is speech and corporations are like people, is absolutely insane.
