Good point. This is why I pointed out how the system is actually working underneath. It's all about how the funding and money is flowing in this so called party system. It's by association and purity tests. It's not really by "you got in because you have actual good ideas for the greater good of society and humanity". It's about "they/him/her scratched his back so now we scratch their backs".

Then this would lead to the result of - how do we get money influence out of politics? In a simple way of explaining, one way would to do it would be to publicly fund each nominee/contender/incumbent BUT make the funding equal, make the media coverage equal, etc. Have an unified standard of how these metrics are presented. Even their promises presented, measured and compared. These are just ideas, but it's not impossible to do these. I'm sure there's many ways we can to level the playing field to an extent where it's not always big money crushing everything.
