Candidates that spend the most seem the more successful..

at being elected..

Doesn't it say something about a society that allows a higher quantity
of media bullshit, affect their political choices? Why doesn't a persons past
and present, effectively presented in a few tv and new-sites, get
the job done?

1. It's sad

Low information voters and people easily influenced by slick TV ads - too many Americans are like that.

2. Look at yourself and maybe answer your own question.

From a quick glance at your posts, your interests lie far more with complaining than with examining records to identify good people to vote for. You're hardly alone in this. From trumpsters to berners, a lot of people are angry these days.

Just how well would any message focusing on positive records, on issues to stand for instead of rail against, get through to people who react that way? Money spent by bad people to defeat good candidates by fanning anger and resentment is far more effective. That's why they do it.
