32. ...or at all
The same thing was said about Clinton, and you know what, he went back on a lot of his campaign promises, and succeeded in destroying any of the progressive spirit in the democratic party that was left over. Politicians won't listen to any group unless they use their voting power as leverage. That is the only value of the electoral system, and that doesn't even work very well.

I do think that voting reform would help greatly, but it wouldn't solve the problem.
