Say what you will, but we get the leaders we deserve.  People have to vote, and vote intelligently, for any system to work.

in their primaries. That's the problem. There's not a lot of difference in the candidates that make it into the primaries. You're mostly talking about very rich individuals connected to some (or multiple forms of) business. They all play blue collar knowledge, but it's not like anyone running in presidential primaries for the last four decades ever held down a middle class job and tried to relate to middle or lower class issues.

granted, an optomotrist doesn't have to have glaucoma to know how to treat his patient. But when he starts by spending all his time looking at your toe nails, it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.
