It would appear that we are no longer a pure democracy anymore. We are edging closer to a hybrid oligarcial democracy. You can vote, but you are influenced by big, bigger, biggest dark money thanks to the Supreme Court. But, is there any suprise to that, now that we know that at least one of them is bought. Id like a million dollar Rv and free vacas and free education for my kids too. Get big money outta politics. What problems we could solve if all the money we spend on politicians went towards actual solutions directly. Rich take care of the rich. Ask Putin.
