Rigged elections by only covering corrupt candidates!

Rigged elections by only covering corrupt candidates! | According to the Constitution we all have a reasonably equal opportunity to run for president and theoretically win! However the political establishment and media added additional requirements that only allow those with enormous amount of money to get media coverage they need to have a chance to win, ensuring that only those catering to wealthy donors get name recognition needed to have a chance! | image tagged in rigged elections,biased media,oligarchy,ranked choice voting,grassroots | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

I don't think anyone ever suggested that literally any layman could havea reasonable shot at becoming President. Most of the Founding Fathers were themselves career statesmen and understood what a complex intersection of skills the job required.

They wanted the House of Representatives to be filled with community tradesmen - no doubt about that - and in that regards, we have stayed from the original vision - but I don't think there was ever a serious effort to reserve the top job for people who weren't experienced politicians.

Maybe not but tehy come close; even if we can't expect just anyone to do this job we can do a far better job screening it to find good candidates and also do more to provide education to all so more people can be serious contenders.

They smear Tulsi too, since she doesn't always go along with Oligarchy agenda, although I think Bernie is much better; but we need to hear from all candidates some of them many turn out to be better than Bernie & even if he gets elected it's unlikely that he'll do as much as many of us hope for.
