Mother Jones

Then convince the idiots around you to vote for better people in local, community, state, and congressional/Senate elections. The biggest problem we face is the house and Senate. If they weren't so evenly split, things would get done. But if we can have decent state or local elections, we can get those same laws passed on a smaller level.

So sure, you can look at it as empty promises, or you can see it as "What I would do if you fuckers would give me a Senate and house that are favorable to it." Because a lot stands between a promise and a law. And part of that is political will too. If she runs on it and wins by a decent margin, then the Congress is more likely to be amenable to it. Because they have that political capital to spend.
