John Washington III Says the System Is Broken and Voters Should Stand With Someone Who Actually Works for Them
John Washington III, a candidate for president, said politicians chase votes and then money and forget the people, and he urged voters to stand with someone who actually works for them.
John Washington III, a candidate for president, described the political system as broken and argued that elected officials pursue voters without staying accountable to them. "The system is broken," he wrote. "Politicians chase our votes, then our money, and forget us."
John Washington III said candidates promise to fight for voters and then return to ordinary politics once the campaigning is done. They say "fight for you," he wrote, "then go back to business as usual." In his telling, that pattern will not change on its own: "This doesn't change until the people stand with someone who actually works for them," he wrote.
Washington presented himself as that candidate and asked voters to join him. "I'm that candidate," he wrote. "Stand with me. Let's take our power back."
