There are two parties and they both represent the interests of the large corporations that fund them. The media are all large corporations that benefit from this system, and get funding from those same large corporations in ad revenue. The over 45 demographic only watches that media and so only hears what that media wants them to hear so are extremely low information voters. The PACs and committees of the respective parties are insanely powerful and run by people who are mostly grifters there to get their paycheck. They don’t care about policy. And if you step out of line too far against them they’ll throw millions against you in a primary to get rid of you.
The system is broken because at the moment in most districts you just can’t compete against who has the money.
