    When billionaires openly announce how they are going to fund and support a political candidate … that isn’t a democracy, that’s an oligarchy or plutocracy … a government run by money, wealth and power.

    Definitely not a democracy … Definitely not a system run by people.

        The only thing that’s changed is we’re in a post-truth world now, where they don’t even have to hide their shadow dictatorship from public view.

        Hell, they can go on tour, be cheered and aggrandized, be paid directly by the peasantry; just like royalty…
