    It’s because capital has seized the means of democracy across all western “democracies”.

    When the majority of the political class at the state and federal level are pre-screened, pre-positioned, financed, and promoted (through MSM ownership) by the richest 1%, the result is functionally equivalent to capitalist dictatorship. As long as the corrupt hold a majority, the rich are ultimately in control.
