Besides the platitude that it doesn't matter how people vote, what matter is who counts the votes, the fact that only insiders can run and be supported by the media completes the picture. Anyone remembers Ross Perot who, as a billionaire, thought it was only about money. After attracting a surprising proportion of voters, he hastily resigned. Apparently, he was told where to get off, or else...
Anyway, when was the last time the (s)elected reps actually stood up for their constituents AND achieved ANYTHING?
Agreed, a lot of sleazy characters make their way into politics. That's why its important to know the actors and the political landscape before voting.

Local elections might sometimes work in small electoral districts, where people know each other.
