Why is it, with more than 300+ million Americans out there, many of them highly accomplished, we only end up with hacks, frauds, liars, incompetent idiots, empty suits and self-serving hucksters and hustlers as candidates for president with every election a lesser-evil choice between Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee?

What kind of political system is this?

Because look at the crap anyone has to go through to run for political office. It destroys and runs off good people.

Also, we just don’t have many leaders left. We wouldn’t be in this situation if we did, so it’s a vicious catch-22.

In practice, it's a system that serves the elites, who band together in competing factions so as to give the public the illusion that the public has a meaningful influence on the bureaucracy. The only influence the people have is which faces will populate the elite layer.

The federal government is radically out of its constitutional boundaries, in part thanks to tenure-for-life judges who have been selected by the (federal government) master they serve.
