    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…

      Yes! And businessmen are always the best people to run a government because governments and all their services should be run for maximum profit and no other purpose!

        As a conservative patriot, I am disgusted that you ever believed the government should be run for the people

    What was it he said about Kamala “It’s like nobody is even trying to kill her!”

    Same sentiment but about him.
