If you mean because it's impossible to advertise yourself without money, then I would say it is the fault of shallow American voters who vote based on advertisements that they saw and which guy has the better suit. Again, you are looking in the wrong place for the problem.

So don't vote for those whom you think will have loyalties located specifically with big corporations. Again, a problem with the voters who elect those people.

You mean a system where many American voters aren't completely retarded pieces of shit who vote based solely on party associations and "for the lesser evil?"

At the point where you decide to take a broad, heavy-handed and unjust approach to try and quell a symptom of the bigger problem: stupid voters.
