Reply #2: We're being kept out of power by the same men who put

[Warpy]

conservatives in both parties into power.

By that, I mean party bosses, corporate donors, and the general gaggle of movers and shakers who approach people to run for office.

Few people are wealthy to wake up on a Tuesday morning and decide they want to chuck it all and get elected to the Senate. They are courted by a consortium of businesses plus party bosses.

We've been offered a choice between bad and worse for decades, with no one who will actually represent us, and it's by design.

The best we can do is keep worse out of office in the short term. I have no idea what will happen in the long term.
