Electing somebody who is POWERFUL is actually not a bad strategy.
It's the devil you know vs. the devil you don't. If you elect someone with no real power in the business world, you're not really electing him, you're electing the person/people who control him.
If you believe Joe Biden is the top of the American administrative power structure, I got a bridge to sell you.
The oligarchy likes it that way because they can roll out one puppet after another and make all of the real decisions amongst themselves behind closed doors.
Hence the revolving door of weirdos and nobodies you see "leading" in western countries.
But when you start electing people who HAVE power, then there's no reason for them to follow the oligarchy's orders. They are the guy in the seat, so they can put pressure on the oligarchy.
The best move is to elect individual members of the ruling oligarchy, because every time one of them gains power over the others, the oligarchy as a whole becomes weaker.
