What do I do when not a single candidate in any election that I can vote in has even heard of, much less taken my preferred position on, this issue?

- Lobby with the existing candidates (and/or incumbents) to get them to take a stand on this issue.

- Same point as before but indirectly: gather public support by leveraging the (social) media available to you.

- If all else fails: run for office yourself.

And, if all of this fails and your country appears to be corrupted, consider protesting. Revolting might become necessary depending on the condition.

I advise all, especially Americans, to do this first.

Run yourself
