We can’t fix it, the common people only have a marginal say in our government. Corporations have captured almost all regulators and all the offices needed to effectively control the nation. Politicians will vote based on whatever their donors want them to do, not what the actual citizens in their districts want

Most of them don’t vote, so there’s no reason for any politician to ever take their wants into consideration. That’s really what needs fixing.
