When the system makes corruption and bribery legal, does it matter who wins an election?

More I think on it, the mroe I'm coming to realize America's problems aren't the politicians as individuals, but the system they function within. When the system itself is corrupt who's in what office doesn't matter any more. Could replace every politician on the federal level overnight and have the exact same problems.

So how do we fix our problems?

Can't be done ... not peacefully anyway.

 

[B. Kidd]

We don't fix them. We just keep kicking the can down the road until we run out of road and/or the can implodes.

What law legalized bribery?

The two biggest problems are career politicians and no real mainstream journalism.

Congress has an 8% approval rating yet 80-90% of them are reelected.

I think they have figured out it doesn't matter what they do. The public are dopes.
