Yes... question.
Isn't it ALL of our fault for having elected crooked politicians in the first place, then leaving them in office too long so they become part of the system, and no longer our representatives?
Like, there's 1% of politicians worldwide that aren't crooks. Trump included, ofc. It's hard NOT TO elect idiots.
Yes and no. Because of the party nature of our system, the party ultimately gets to put their finger on the scale in terms of who is the party person candidate for any given elected position. All to often, we get stuck choosing between one of two questionable options. If we had good options to choose from in many elections, then really good candidates wouldn't stand out. They stand out because of the many not so good options.
And we think we have democracy.
Accurate!
