Why the hell is the U.S. Presidential campaigns about which clown did the fewest embarrassing gaffes, rather than who can actually stand up and promise to do something, like "If I'm elected, 3 weeks paid holiday will be the new minimum"?

Are business interests too strong? Is everyone afraid to be labelled "socialist" and thereby disqualified if suggesting something worker-friendly?

The top 0.1% are the SuperPAC contributors and they control the entire debate. "Democracy" in America is about who has the most money.
