    Sounds like First-past-the-post voting doesn't represent the people accurately.

    Electoral methods are important and FPTP is an atrociously bad method for a representative election, but the US is beyond that. You can't vote away this level of corruption without first wielding real worker power outside of the electoral system. Reform is a last resort for the corrupt.
