Unfortunately, the way the system works now, only the multi-kabillionaires with strong backing can even get on the ticket, much less win.
不幸的是,在現在(選舉)制度的運作,只有有堅強(財力)後盾的大富豪,才可能進入候選人名單,更不用說想要獲勝。

You need to have strong financial backings to be able to run for election. Most candidates such as Al Gore, George Bush, are all pretty wealthy people. It costs money to run the election campaigns, and to win the race, you need to have strong financial backings to last the campaign.
