It is, really. In many cases, the people chosen for primaries, funded, and put into office are specifically those that the party or deep state have blackmailable control over. With the selections and elections both manipulated, it has become very hard indeed to cast an actual vote for a clean politician that will actually be counted alongside only other legitimate votes. What they give us are mostly child fuckers, fraudsters, and vehicular homicidals - and the worse the dirt is, the higher you get to go.
