Which is indeed very hopeful. The level of institutionalized corruption including in how money selects who appears on ballots makes this a difficult process.

This is a great reminder of the root issues we need to deal with.

After having looked at it for a long time, I'm convinced that "institutionalized corruption" is a pleasing myth with no grounding in reality.

Money in politics flows to candidates who already agree with those who control the money. It doesn't go to change the minds of those who disagree.
