Will, honestly, joining that system and trying to work with it is an exercise in futility.
Anyone who gets to a position of power NEEDS to sell themselves out to so many different interests, and be willing to deliver on them, that there's nothing to be done for it.
Look at Clinton, look at Obama, look at Bush, look at McCain; Look at 99% of the others on the national scene (as far as i can see).
Left or Right, they're beholden to so many interest groups in their "broad churches" and large donors that there's little more than continue the current trajectory that's possible.
The problem with power is power. The problem with authority is authority.
Power and authority must be put in so many hands that no particular or group of influences can UNDULY influence authority.
The system needs replacing, not the candidates.
