The system is the best representative democracy money can buy. So unless you're going to pay for votes like Musk, this just doesn't ring true to the lived experience of the majority of Americans.

We can say a lot of people are cynical like that, but we can also say even more people are turned off by that cynicism.
I want representative democracy, it is just not what most people in America experience. Me criticizing the system is not somehow anti-democratic.
This attitude of telling people they're wrong about the system is just pathetic. You're advertising your own weakness to not adapt when the rules get changed.
If the Dems think voters are dumb, then why do they campaign like only smart people would vote for them?
Some Dems are so cynical they do things they don't believe in because they believe it works.
They could also get money out of the primary process and that would have the largest impacts
Conventional logic also said Trump would loose but here we are.
If people are disappointed in the system, maybe don't say the system proves our leaders are popular. Saying just about anything else would be less of a turn off.
If winning elections proves you are popular then I have some bad news.
DNC leadership literally said they would rather loose than tarnish Biden's legacy with critique. That's why Harris wasn't allowed to differentiate herself in any meaningful way.
Evil triumphs when good people do nothing
Success is measured in how many billionaires it makes. I don't see the USPS making any billionaires. /s
