Can one still claim that the USA is a liberal democracy? Where do you draw the line?

      We didn’t have a democracy then either. How many parties were at the debates? And how much wealth did the candidates have compared to the rest of the US?

      Yep, all oligarchs.

        I need you to define the word “oligarchy” and then show me that it applies using that specific definition.

        Edit: the point is that if you actually define the term as “a polity that’s controlled by a small number of people” (that is, the definition) it’s easy to show the above comment is just a lie.
