"I can think of 100's of things that would get rid of corruption and voting for someone who is in favor of corruption isn't one of them"

So can I. But not any that we can actually get away with. Since they all involve organizing in some way or other that is designed to get rid of corruption.
The rulers will make damn sure we can't organize anything of that nature and will do ANYTHING including killing us to make sure we can't do it.
