As an occasional tabletop gamer, I can often conceive several different winning strategies just by reading the rules of the game.

In the game of American representative democracy, I would not recommend your strategy. It's playing for 2nd place.

If you truly believe what you said, you should be recommending that people act to corrupt a public official in a manner that provides some leverage to them, personally. Alternately, poach the blackmail material from someone who already has leverage.

That strategy will increase your power, if it works. But it carries much higher downside risk...
