    Everyone talking about billionaires and how they endorse, support, finance, fund, hold lotteries to influence an election and everyone still thinks they exist in a democracy.

    It’s an oligarchy or a plutocracy

    Call it whatever you want … but it certainly isn’t a democracy

          It’s not a democracy if the choices available don’t work for the common person, which they both don’t. Democracy means that what the majority says, goes. Which is clearly not what’s happening, because the majority wants to get rid of billionaires and do something about climate change and so on and so on.

            How would you propose we stop the imminent and terminal influx of right wing fascism across the globe?

            Because it is not waiting around while you organize a better third option. It’s here. Now.
