> Consumers are actually the problem, just as voters are the main cause of bad politicians

Voters do not know that politician X worked for company Y before getting into politics and do not know that politician X will work again for Y or for Z after his mandate is over.

Consumers can only buy what is available. And quality is gone for good in military industrially capitalism.

One can be happy if the product lives the live it was designed to.

Part of why it's important to be more involved at the local level... You may not know your senator, but you can definitely know your city/local govt, your local party reps, etc... and they will often know the candidates better than most.

There's a lot of effort in the grassroots of both major parties, and in third parties to displace the establishment. It takes effort and local involvement. Most simply aren't and don't care.
