Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, aim for a slightly less corrupt system, and stop electing wealthy kleptocrats.
Ah, the lesser of two evils.
This is why the Democrats never do much. They know we'll have to vote for them because the Republicans are always going to be slightly worse.
And every four years, the worse of the two evils gets more evil, so the lesser of the two can also get worse and we still have to vote for them.
So it's an effective strategy to prevent meaningful change.
