The algorithm of our election system is flawed.
Candidates are far more answerable to their funders than to the electorate.
One solution may be publicly funded campaigns, giving people who refuse to accept bribes the potential to win the election.
But currently, I think it is necessary for all candidates to accept bribes in order to get elected, or to be a billionaire like Trump.
