i tink it has to do a lot more with the people who put people into power.
and why.

the lobbyists .. the people who have something to gain (power/financially) by putting a certain person into power.

only a small percentage of people actually understand what is going on politically .. entheusiasts and conspiracy theorists mostly ..

everyone else is uneducated and uninformed other than what they pick up on the news. (scratching the surface at best)
(i'm in this category myself)

this majority of the people vote for who looks like they know what they are doing .. based on what they are told. or they vote based on what the person looks like - the image.

the lobbyists exert a lot of influence. they dont need someone in power they cant buy. they wont financially back them - or back the people who can also provide influence to their cause.

the people who own the oil run the planet. I know this sounds simple and childish .. but there is a a lot of truth there.
