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

    the US is an full-on oligarchy again after a brief semi-respite in the middle to later parts of the 20th century

    It went from oligarchy that provided a certain minimum quality of life to workers into one that is intentionally as extractive as possible. Once women entered the work force and effectively doubled the labor pool, capitalists had a lot more leverage.
