My problem is the idea that the 'main show' isn't as important as the 'little players' who few really consider... the judges, comptrollers, and mid-level officials... all of whom have 'aligned' or even 'pledged allegiance' with the façade of some 'party'... which just turn out to be "the club."
If each campaigning politician were ever held to account for their promises... they would all likely fail to live up to what they 'sold the voters' on.
Not that they would accept the failure, instead they just blame it on other political thespians.
Now comes the 'grand finale' as if it were a competition... a trite reduction of the importance of the matter... into a 'show' about "winning."
Leaving the population victims to PR characterizations, base lawfare, and a hefty dose of "make believe."
Voters are often seduced into overlooking that we are, in fact, assigning responsibilities... not glamour roles.
Look where glamour roles have gotten us: 'appearances,' secrets. Impotence and lies, and a captured government, laboring to silence us wherever it matters most.
Let's hope that we can change the zeitgeist of the political class.
