Polls show that America does not want either Joe Biden or Donald Trump

Yet somehow with the majority not wanting either, we must have one or the other.
And how many second terms are successful? Government corruption is soooo bad, you almost inevitably have a scandal of some sort, and people simply get tired of looking at your face on the screen 24/7 for 4 years. And why do we want the President campaigning to win a second term? Would it not be better to focus on the job instead? Moreover, it makes picking a good VP that much more important, since you would want them to be your successor.
As for Congress, they have not had an approval rating over 25% in about half a century.

But instead, we have Feinstein looking like she won a battle with the Grim Reaper to take her away, so we are stuck with her, and the leader of the GOP, Mitch McConnell, having mini strokes as he gives public speeches saying, "Just a flesh wound, I'm Ok."
This is democracy? This is not democracy, this is insanity.
In fact, someone like Crusty corrupt Joe Biden running for President would be a thing of the past, since career politicians would become extinct.
It would give a broader representation of the constituency in government, and it would force those in office to try and create a world where they will soon be apart of after their short government careers instead of creating a world they will never have to be apart of as they live in their ivory towers. Gone will be the rich retirements and endless accumulation of wealth over a lifetime of "public service".
But how? Corruption dictates the fix is in. It will only get worse from here.

Congress Approval Lowest in 2021 as Democrats Turn Negative
