Do you really think the average Joe on the street has any say on who gets nominated for President or has any real decision on sits in the Oval office? If anything, he will have a choice of two people, put in position by members of an exclusive club...That's it.
I do not understand your point.
Is there a law that says the average American can not participate in politics’?
Those men that have ran for office did not just appear out of thin air. They have for the most part have been public people who have made their views known, and have usually ran for political office and won. Even if your view how the final candidates get put on the ballot is true (and I am not conceding it is) they still have to be elected in a national election.
If you can not find a candidate that can gather enough votes to win an national election, that means your views are not shared by the majority of the voters. You are destined to be unhappy for a very long time.
I am grateful for the wisdom of our founding fathers when they gave us a Republic with a House and a Senate, and not a Parliament. Any man that reaches the office of the Presidency will have to compromise to get what he wants, that is built into the system.
