Congratulations ! D It might help to put a price tag on what you ' ve been spending on . I realized earlier that I keep trying to dupe a certain color , that if I just got the original I ' d have spent P 800 versus the pushing P 1 k for the dupes . Sigh . <| sep |> All systems are prone to error . Our political system is not exempt . I believe that over time , the effect will average out . Yes you will have some subpar candidate win the office every now and again . The US has had to suffer through some terrible candidates already . But you will also get a Roosevelt or Lincoln from time to time . You will mostly get people like Kennedy or Polk , Obama or Reagan , who represent effective presidents in general opinion and are more in line with what you can expect from those who run for higher office . This is part of living in a republic . If you don ' t like it , you can change it . Go run for office . Run for mayor or sheriff or a Court Judge . Run for council . For the Senate .
