When spending money determines who wins or loses an election or political career .... why keep referring to it as a democracy.
A political system that runs on money is known as a plutocracy and a system that runs on the power of a few wealthy people is known as an oligarchy.
Whatever this system is now .... it definitely does not run on the will of the people ... which is what democracy is.
We don’t. You’re just saying the loud part out loud.
