There are always other presidential candidates on the ballot. No. We have the ability to change this government with the vote, including how elections are run. All those elected were voted in. To not vote is an endorsement of a system without suffrage, unless you are revolting.
Isn't there a tacit agreement with governments actions by agreeing to use their system to choose leadership? By voting in a system that buys elections with money, aren't you endorsing the whole charade of it?
