The electoral process has already been subverted through gerrymandering and a two-party system. All the good, honest, hard-working folks get stuck together with the parasites and psychopaths. In either party there is a very wide range of people from salt-of-the-earth types to scum-of-the-earth.
If you don't utilize gerrymandering then you lose, and if you're campaigning in a third-party then you lose.
