Is it possible, just possible…

That whoever we elect into power comes from exactly the same private club every time?
I mean politicians just toe the line with whoever finances their election campaigns - these could be the same people irrespective of the political party, so it’s a win win for them.

I’m seeing all the usual “left and right” stuff here, but what I’m saying is that does it really matter? The Americans are now fighting among themselves, so who really gains from that? I’d suggest someone who’s been in power for ages, and whose political opponents tend to get incarcerated, fall out of hotel windows or get shot down in their private jets “by mistake”. This is a country with almost unlimited resources, doesn’t treat its own citizens particularly well, and tends to centralise its wealth in very few places. Or am I totally wrong?
