Still doesn't really solve the problem of candidates being pre-approved for the bourgeoisie.

Don't let imperfection get in the way of progress. If you move slightly towards the left, you're opening doors for more left ideology.

I think I'd agree with you more if I believed "pushing for XYZ" was a valid strategy for implementing structures opening the door for progress in a system dominated by those who benefit from the status quo. Without that belief, I turn to other historically succesful methods of gaining change, like millitant labor organizing and revolution.
