@edc128e6 we are fools to permit billionaires and think any democracy can exist. Beyond silly, a child could see it isn't possible. They are far too dangerous, able to undermine the peoples will and buy our representation. That very fact the media doesn't sound alarm bells over these occurrences tells you owns them, not the people. A true democracy would see this danger and protect against it. people cant grasp how billionaire rule strangles capitalism and democracy in its sleep 

 @95816ff2 Our species has been fools for most of its existence. At first we succumbed to they myths that rulers were chosen by the divine. As we evolved (?) we learned to instead surrender to those who bank the largest $$. 

Democracy never had much to do with it really.
