You say all that, but the GOP haven’t exactly been pushing rockstar career politician candidates. The barriers for entry seem pretty low, imo.
We could easily get campaign finance reform passed if we voted in like a dozen more people from the party who supports campaign finance reform as a partisan issue, but people don’t vote for that. It’s not that votes don’t matter, it’s that people are wasting them.
The prime examples of inexperienced or underqualified candidates like Joe O’Dea,MTG, Tiffaney Smiley, and Madison Cawthorn just happened to be GOP. Hell, the Trump appointed Secretary of Education literally bought her way into the position, and several Trump appointed judges had little to no experience in court rooms. I’m sure there are a few examples of DNC underqualified politicians, but the divide for Graduate Degrees in the 118th congress is D 73% and R 55%. This is a post about US Politics. It is a 2 party system. Even if you vote independent for congress, that Independent will choose which side to caucus with.

Why do you immediately go to the GOP? Why is the world always so black & white, red v blue, etc?

Who makes it a two party system?
What a complete nonsequitur. Do you even have any idea which conversation thread you’re replying to, rn?
