That’s ONLY true IF people keep voting for the incumbent year after year, or for the guy with the most campaign money to blast everyone with his campaign message incessantly. There are, in fact, alternatives in MANY Primaries and Elections, if folks are willing to do their own research and find out who ALL the candidates are BEFORE casting their vote.

People need to take the time => find out about the one without the Party support. Be proactive instead of waiting to be spoon-fed information and entertained -— look at those who don’t have the cash to reach every voter, and see who they are and what they have to offer. A fat campaign bank account, glitzy ads, and professionally written speeches will NOT give you accountable Representation. And then, once you find that diamond in the rough that just might be able to stand up, make the changes, and lead others => get serious and do more than just vote for that person.

I know, wishful thinking -— but also, maybe, the answer to getting the same old thing no matter who the Parties offer up for us to vote for in each election.

The idea that a good candidate will attract money and Party accolades is FALSE. The big money prefers the status quo, because CHANGE is difficult to CONTROL. ALL endorsements favor the incumbent if at all possible. The Party faithful isn’t always a Patriot. The consensus Candidate doesn’t always prefer the Constitution over his own base, or his own goals.

But, as long as people keep voting the same, the outcome will always be the same.
