You know it's a waste of money.
If you don't take and fight for this very opportunity to change the political and electoral system, you probably never will. You always will be stuck with two parties being more or less in the hands of corporations and block out everyone who's still an idealist.
Just saying. It's kinda obvious. If you don't have big money on your side in America, you don't even stand a chance of being elected for dog catcher. And if you have it, you don't give a shit for the people you're supposed to represent but only for your donors. Money for nothing isn't a reality.
