This makes theoretical sense, but facts are facts.  And THESE are the
facts:  People will NOT vote for 3rd party candidates, so the two rightist
parties in our country, the Republicans and Democrats run the same tired
candidates over and over again.  Even IF a candidate were to gather
strength who was not part of the machine, s/he would either be gunned
down...or simply outspent.  As constructed today, there is no way to elect
anyone who is not part of the Machine.  (There is no substantive
difference between either major party.  They're both owned by big
business.)
