Here's a whole video about why that doesn't work:

Basically all governments are required to keep certain groups happy to even consider getting into power, and some of that involves.... Certain kinds of payoffs and deals being made.

You can only vote for people who have already acquised to the system in order to get on the ballot.

You can vote for people who promise some slightly more progressive version of the status quo, but that's as radical as the system is allowed to get by design.

Videos like these are meant to keep you down, or in your couch

You can get on a ballot. You just need enough people to support you

Not voting or voting against those who would change the system is what keeps these dorks in power
