US political system is screwed

Oligarchy - a government in which control is exercised by a small group of individuals whose authority generally is based on wealth or power.

Nice try, but in an Oligarchy the fundamental difference is that common people don't vote. We vote on every candidate. Appointed officials are sworn in and that is a debatable thing that could be changed. However, there's nothing Oligarchical about voting for the President of the US.

Well besides Citizen United your are kind of correct.  Corporations count as one person so they can donate to whoever they want and however much they want.  Clinton and Jeb Bush are puppets to these corporations and will never try to mess with them or they will cease funding.  It is completely ridiculous.  And the presidential position is not even where this is worse.

So many in the Senate get their funding from these corporations  and top .01$ of the wealthy people like the big banks, koch brothers, at&t, Comcast

 

Like seriously, to all the people not voting Bernie just watch his income wealth inequality video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VePpQBCbKBw

That is one of the things that convinced me that he is the only viable candidate running.   Everyone else is too afraid to admit that the wealthy is what is killing us, not the poor and their petty abuse of welfare policies that cost nothing in comparison to what these guys do.

Not sure who I will vote for, but definately not Trump. Leaning Dr. Ben Carson. I'd vote Kanye over Trump. We all know Hillary Clinton is gonna win. #illuminati jk ;)


Oh yeah, Carson.  The guy who has said climate change is not real, a religious person other than Christian as president is wrong, gay is a choice, the earth is not even 10,000 years old.  Only morons would vote for Carson, no offense.  Trump would be 1000x better than Carson and Trump is a joke.
