The mainstream candidates in both parties, especially the Republican Party (AKA the big business party) already cater to interests & careful not to piss off someone that is deeply connected. They already slash this or that because they can get away with it because not just the money, the further down you go on the income bracket the lower the turnout rate drops which a variety of reasons can explain. The goal with that is to make voting easier, the GOP isn't out there guilt tripping non-voters but trying to make it difficult for as many voters as possible not to vote. Oregon, I'm pretty sure has very high turnout with their all mail-out ballot system.
At-some-point we need to stop blaming the voters & focus on policies that are either right for us or wrong for us but not only us but the World. If we stop mentioning the bad stuff they do then who is going to look out for us.
Personally, I'm on the Bernie Sanders bandwagon because I think his ideas for the most part are the right thing & this man is out there advocating for those affected by free trade agreements, union busting, lassez-faire policies but he is also a man that doesn't seem to go down the road of anti-whoever campaigns. He is very supportive Obama & other prominent Democrats & mentions a respect mainly makes it about the money infected both parties while Hillary Clinton is conducting tests to determine how much she should distance herself from Obama.
I'm not sure what your post is about but personally, politics should be something possible to discuss honestly but instead there is blind loyalty & fear of Republicans who BTW don't appear to be trying to out-liberal each other. If we continue with this prisoner dilemma than I don't see how we can expect meaningful change to the status quo.
