    This is why they have an approval rating of less than 20%, yet for some reason people are so damn stupid they never vote out the incumbent idiots.

      I think you're right that we've reached the point when it's time to call voter stupidity exactly that. It's not money's fault. Politician's sublime contentment running on fundraising hamster wheels can only explain so much. Blatantly rigged elections, let alone ones in which people are given 'provisional ballots,' or vote totals that are announced before the sheriff brings in the ballot boxes, can only deflect so much blame. Every voter's unwitting first, the victim of a long con second.
