Hi Dr. Lessig: There is concern that your presidential bid will dilute the vote for Bernie Sanders (see /r/Maydaypac for threads and conversation on this).

I myself am torn. I recognize campaign finance as a core systemic issue affecting all aspects of American society, both domestically and abroad. But at the same time, if Sanders is doing well in the polls and needs my vote, I’ll likely vote for him, and not you. What is your answer to this dilemma, which surely many others in support of campaign finance reform also face?

Hi Naomi, thank you for the important work you do. Who are your heroes, mentors, and colleagues in your career fighting for a sustainable and equitable future on earth? Anyone you recommend looking into?

Interesting -- I see your point, but at the end of the day if he is remotely close then I would obviously prefer him to be in the chair over Clinton. If he's not presenting a plan he is certainly aware of how perversely corrupt our political system is and not likely to further enhance the relationship between Wall Street, Corporate American, and Capitol hill. I remain conflicted.

How do we move beyond GDP and a focus on economic growth (financial return) as the main indicator of development to a focus on qualitative growth (environmental, social health, etc)?
