It has gotten to be lately that you win by letting the capitalists finance your campaign ads, not by serving the people. This has begun to shift, with Trump defeating well financed well experienced establishment of both flavors.
But a rejection of ad money in favor of having a clean money trail hasn't caught on, and just saying you are for some of the People is not enough.
The Democrats are in a Catch-22 on this issue. Most want to reject Big Money, but the SCOTUS anointed it as "speech" so Big Money is in for now. Saying no is the same as capitulating to the GOP. And no, I don't have a pat answer to this.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
