Yeah when you have a two-party system (in the case of America) and you have two business parties, people only vote for the reactionary lackeys of business and the gay-friendly lackeys of business. It’s such a conundrum.
What happens is that the “establishment” candidates get all the press/propaganda while the other candidates either (1) belong to third parties which risks “wasting” a vote, and/or (2) either stay completely fringe/off everyone’s radar or get smeared by the establishment candidates.
And propaganda is everywhere. It’s not just “this message has been approved by” commercials. My comment could be astroturfed. (It’s not though. My political brain is just programmed in a weird way, (kind of) organically.)
How are you supposed to counter that as a citizen? Vote for the candidate that you least know as a kind of bypass-the-system trick?
