        How can voters show demand for non-corrupt candidates if their only options to vote on are corrupt candidates? How can we change this?

          There was a non-corrupt option in 2016: Bernie Sanders. Almost no one voted for him.

          How can we change this? Somehow convince all of America to consistently vote for the least-corrupt candidates in both the Democratic primary election and the general election. This will shift the Overton window back to where it should be.

          I cannot fathom why people aren’t already doing this, so I couldn’t tell you how to convince them to start, but that’s what has to happen. Somehow.
