I love that linked headline, blame the voters, it’s not the parties fault for failing to present a compelling candidate.
We have a systemic voter and campaign finance problem. Politicians have no reason to care about voter opinions, long before Citizens United, casting a ballot has had no influence on policy. Voters who see no choice, and decide to stay home aren’t being irrational.
We can amend the constitution to limit the influence of money in politics. We can make a start at reforming the electoral college. How we actually get there with an obstructionist political system is probably going to be messy.
