On the other hand, you can't win if you don't play. And if you stop trying, you end up in a situation that becomes (or seems) hopeless. We now run campaigns for month and years and spend billions of dollars. Millions need to be spent to defend the deserving incumbent public servants, leaving nothing left for other worthy challengers. This is another broken process that has become a huge moneymaking industry in itself. Unfortunately we seem to be unable to deal constructively with any of the many problems we have. That sets up a scenario where a corrupt, ludicrous imbecile who says he can swoop in and fix everything "quickly" is attractive to millions. Send what you can to these deserving candidates.
