Uh, Bob.

Nice to see you.

It can't be an oligarchy of democrats.
The Republicans are in charge.

So, it might be a Cowardacracy or a Dumbocracy, but how can it be an oligarchy run by the party who is out of party?

Just incompetants being jerked around by a bunch of thugs.

However you look at it, it's an oligarchy.

1 President
1 Vice President
9 Supreme Court Justices
100 Senators
435 Congressmen

546 people at the top of 300 million. Sounds like a classic oligarchy to me.

IMO, we must repeal the 17th Amendment and enlarge the House of Representatives dramatically.

Power in the Senate has to be returned to the states and the people are now way to numerous to be represented by 435 people in any effective way.

That is just a dog-and-pony show... the Dems always get what they want... although there are plenty of scaliwags on the Repubbie side also.

The Dems rule through the courts and the media... and voter apathy!
