No one is either willing to run or ballot access laws are strict.I cam see why no one wants to run.Some districts vote one way.There needs to be a way to bring more competitiveness in the elections.Elections should be a free market of ideas.And a competition of ideas.Also more open media.Like Eric Alterman who writes or wrote for thw Nation Magazine advocates.
Pacifica Radio is the only real alternative media in the country to talk about real issues.
Robot party HACK oligarchs in ALL of the gerrymander major legislative bodies in the USA — USA H. Reps. , USA Senate (semi-permanent), ALL 99 houses in ALL 50 State legislatures, many local regimes – esp. city and county govts.
