How do we end up with Presidential candidates all of whom you wouldn't hire to work the counter at your MiniMart?

Because you have a two-party system and not the most logical option for a single position: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_runoff_voting

Obviously, you need a limit to the number of candidates, probably using a percentage of the population of each state's voters' signatures, so that it's only about a dozen candidates. It would avoid extremists gaining power.

It’s party politics. People vote for a party and not the candidate. It doesn’t matter how stupid or corrupt they are if they have the right letter next to their name on the ballot.

Stalin was probably smarter than Biden too; there's more to it than that.
