The most popular candidate running for a political office is not necessarily the one most likely to honor their oath of offfice.
Because the vast majority of voters are ignorant and uninformed they tend to vote for the candidate who represens the political party that promises to give them all of the things they wan at the expense of others.
Political Partie invest billions of dollars to market their candidate to an audience to ignornt and uninformed voters.
Direct democratic elections have become popularity contests that are like beauty pageants where the candidate that looks the best is the most attractive is likely to get elected.
In order to get elected a candidate must sell their soul to the devil to gain the support of the bankers and Wall Street Corporations.
Politicians do not represent the people, they represent the financial elite that control the political parties.
Billions of dollars are invested every year by the Wall Street Corporstions to purchase the services of unethical politicians who are willing to provide their benefactors with generous tax breaks and subsidies at the expense of the people they were elected to serve.
