If you want it to change, you have to be willing to make the change towards it.

My point is that the system itself is too corrupt. There are certainly well-meaning politicians in office but the power is in the system of the two parties who have a lock on power. The system allows for lobbyists, special interest groups, corporations, the mega rich to influence & push for regulations/laws that favor them. The system is working for them & although well meaning politicians exist they are working inside that system & they are powerless to change it. For any true meaningful change to occur it will require an absolute overhaul of the entire political system, that is to completely get rid of all the money coming in from those groups, to allow for more than two political parties etc & that cannot ever come about from voting for low level well-meaning politicians. Those with the real power, the ones who don't need to be elected are never going to allow this system to change. It would take something akin to a revolution to have that happen.
