You should definitely add wealth class to your list of criteria, as this is a factor that both Dems and Reps fail to address.

I should, it wasn't the most immediate thought in my head; Republicans openly court the wealthy for donations, while most Dems (there are a few outspoken individuals that try) fail to curtail the power wealthy people have in US politics. Wealth Class is certainly a good addition to my list of criteria, as those who are less wealthy and are outright poor often have no voice in the political space. Unless they really create a proper spectacle which can't be ignored.
