> The system does not allow good candidates to make it through to a vote.
This simply isn't true. What is true is that there's a strong bias which makes it harder, but hyperbole is a form of lying.
> There are other, more effective ways to vote than at the ballot box. Money, time, voice (depending on your reach), protest, direct action can all have a greater impact.
False dichotomy/strawman ... no one said there aren't ... and many of these ways affect who wins elections.
I won't respond further.
You ignored the second part of my statement:
> (When it does, they are quickly either ejected or “brought in” to the system.)
As shown with Bernie (co-opted) and most recently with Massie (ejected). You’re not voting your way out of this.
