Political parties are run by the wealthy elite, not “the people”
There’s nothing to allow for a candidate who is sincere but not connected to big money to succeed at anything but the most local of elections.
If someone were to win a bigger federal level election with word of mouth and no money, be sure that whatever social media platform that allowed their word to go out and grow was on their side and working in the shadows of their ‘formula’ that promotes some content over others.
I will guarantee that anyone who campaigns on abolishing lobbyists and PAC donations will landslide. Hell, elect me and I’ll do it because I really don’t gaf about money. Extra bonus: I DESPISE Nazis and the Telecommunications Act.
If you were right it would be happening and they would be winning.
It just doesn’t happen. If you aren’t D or R you’re not getting party funded, and running independent is fucking hard. If you’re D or R You’ll get primaried to death by a better funded same party opponent who doesn’t mess with the source of said party funding.
Never going to happen.

This is why I only vote local.
