When a party is willing to pay bribery to buy votes, it is difficult for non corrupt party to win. Humans are blinded by greed

Parties don't even need to bribe voters anymore. All they need now are full time trolls who will spread lies on facebook, twitter, tiktok and Youtube. It is much more cheaper and effective.

That seems to be the way it is working in the USA. Thank goodness there are many voters who don't pay attention to trolls. If they had paid attention to the trolls, some of the states that Trump lost during his reelection bid, he would have won; especially the state of Georgia, where he made false accusations about the volunteer workers who worked at the voting places.

I just finished an article that investigates the history of bribery and other corrupt practices by world politicians. I discovered that the most upright-looking leaders were corrupt in some way or the other. The good guys never always win, and in politics, people accept that there is no 'good man' running. They just vote for the candidate who was able to better convince them.
US politics is a lot easier to win. Firstly, there are the GOP states and the DEM states that always vote that way, doesn't matter how corrupt the candidate is, they will spin a magic wand to make him look good.
Secondly, there are the independent states which vote for their benefits and needs. So a charismatic opponent may lose to a bumble bee offering solutions.
Thirdly, there are the silent voters. These are the minority ethnic groups, such as Latinos, afro-Americans, etc. These voters are looking for specific issue promises. So be it a very obviously corrupt candidate or his invisible corrupt opponent, the proposer that promises to solve or address these issues, will win.

Putin for sure did not play fair. Because once he got himself elected, he kept changing the laws in order to allow him to stay in power. I'm sure that was his long-term plan all along. Too bad the voters could not predict that.

You need money to win the elections. You need money to market yourself as the right candidate, you need money to run ad campaigns. Since you spend a lot of money in elections, after winning elections, you end up manipulating the state's resources.
