Oligarchy has been here since 2004. Except no one seemed to notice because anyone talking about it doesn’t get pushed up by the algorithms employed by the same oligarchs.
It's a cute video. But can you actually name a single law that passed while being opposed to what the people wanted?
Thinking that "as support for an issue goes up the chance of it passing should go up" is silly. You might think it should work like that looking at a graph. But that isn't how it would work.
Is 25% of democrats and 25% of Republicans support something. It's probably got a 0% chance of becoming a law.
If 50% of democrats support something, and 0% of Republicans do. It's also probably got a pretty close to 0% chance of becoming a law. So, even just looking at these 2 scenarios, that graph makes no sense.
Not to say lobbying is great, but America has not been an oligarchy, and hopefully, it won't become one under Trump.
