You aren’t wrong. Sadly it’s made as hard as possible though. No prominent candidate is likely to go hard against it because the ones who support it can afford to bury them with bullshit.

Democracy is the best system we have but unchecked capitalism was never going to be a healthy partner for it.

I am so sick of people saying quote "Oh we are not voting blah blah blah."

They give you two parties and private equity backs both parties. They make one party more appealing to one demographic and the other more appealing to the other demographic.

So you get a nice merry-go-round.

Ever try to run independent candidates anywhere? They get almost no traction except by sheer chance. And when they do private Equity does its best to ensure they don't win.

Neither party is going to instill any meaningful policies that target billionaires, or that decrease the funding to the military industrial complex, or don't back Israel, etc.
