      Or vote for specific people within the parties that keep trying, but people get fooled into thinking that they are the bad guys, such as Bernie Sanders. The problem with the Republican party is that anyone who criticises Trump gets harassed and attacked. Democrats will criticize Biden as it is expected.

      If there were a perfect being that was fair and just, a dictatorship would work great. But it never does. That’s why you keep voting for the individual who is for the people. The problem is that it’s tiring and confusing to keep doing it all the time, if even at all. And that is intentional and by design. Like gerrymandering.

        All you have to remember is that no matter who Red or Blue runs, they’ve been bought by big business and will never serve in the interest of the people.

          Assuming that any and all politicians have a price tag (that’s your implication here), what’s preventing your third party candidate from getting bought?

              We have a party here in Romania called USR. They’re a technocrat party, and one of their big core pillars of policy is dealing with political corruption. I think it’s safe to say they also understand it’s a problem.

              Their politicians still occasionally get busted for corruption. Less than the other parties, but still. Don’t let the ideology blind you to reality.
