If you build a political system around that assumption, it’s not going to chance.

True, but what I meant was, in the context of the conversation, that the system must not be ignorant of the fact that regular people need to earn a living, and provide opportunities for regular people to participate without sacrificing a significant amount of time to fundraising.

I don’t know what the best solution is but if the system is only practically open to those that don’t need to work for a living then things surely will stay the same.

This, I agree with, but is a very different idea.
