Have you met our political system?

Primaries literally don't have to be fair, because the results are nonbinding, the party can just pick someone else.

And the people in charge keep loosening regulations so they can get bigger donations.

They're openly running a PAC that coordinates with Biden and the DNC that individuals can legally donate a million a year.

Average Americans are being priced out of democracy by both parties. The candidate for both will be who the wealthy pick, and everyone will have to vote if they want to keep who they hate most out of office.

If you're wealthy there's no way to lose, if you're the other 99.9% you can't win.

Regular people can't out lobby Microsoft and Disney, and unless a progressive third party emerges the system will keep getting worse.
