It's never been about the best candidates. That's a story for school children. In reality it's all about who is connected to who, who makes favors for who etc.

And naturally you need to be rich, which means you are already connected to a web of individuals who you owe favors, or are expected to satisfy in different ways.

"Best?" Of course not, that's not how the 2 party system works. We don't live in some meritocracy, Capital is what makes the gears turn. The system is designed to change as little as possible.

That's why Unionization and organization at a grassroots level is the only way to move America meaningfully to the left, vote Dem to keep fascists out of office while actually doing the hard work yourself on the ground.

What else do you expect from a colonial imperialist state?

It's surprising rather that Hitler didn't resurrect to run for president. I imagine he'd get a good chunk of votes.

The best from the current establishment…
