The elected officials who sit in the lower offices are just as dirty and rotten as those running for the highest office. There's no real progressives. They're all in the tank for Wall Street. Even Bernie betrayed his principals and his supporters by endorsing Hillary.
He endorsed her because he considers her the lesser evil. At least on a social level. I know you don't subscribe to something like that, but Hillary is on the lines of Bernie when it comes to same sex marriage and other social issues. Which can't be said about the opposing side.
But I agree on the system being corrupt. In the States still a bit more than in the rest of the world. But we're catching up fast. The last politicians I remember actually doing something for the people, even if it cost them, were in office in the late 70ies, early 80ies.
