It does seem difficult in this day and age to find people with the right combination of imagination, intellect, empathy, compassion and moral compass to run for offices - some blame capitalism. Maybe if there was an example of the worship of money not working out in the favor of the billionaire; the attitude itself would sputter out... but so far all the examples end up working against the people that made them rich instead.... 🤔🤦
It's really not hard. The problem is that they have to compete with corporations practicing regulatory capture with their hand picked highly managed and funded candidates. bad speech is cheaper than good speech and they have more money to speak with.
That sounds like capitalism 🤔
