When billionaires openly announce how they are going to fund and support a political candidate .... that isn't a democracy, that's an oligarchy or plutocracy ... a government run by money, wealth and power.
Definitely not a democracy ... Definitely not a system run by people.

The only thing that's changed is we're in a post-truth world now, where they don't even have to hide their shadow dictatorship from public view.
Hell, they can go on tour, be cheered and aggrandized, be paid directly by the peasantry; just like royalty...

The World's Richest Man openly Campaigning for another Billionaire is EXACTLY the Ticket I want to support because Billionaires OBVIOUSLY want to help the Working Class!

Yes! And businessmen are always the best people to run a government because governments and all their services should be run for maximum profit and no other purpose!

As a conservative patriot, I am disgusted that you ever believed the government should be run for the people...

What was it he said about Kamala "It's like nobody is even trying to kill her!"
Same sentiment but about him.

If by "try" you mean "wish," I'm definitely trying.

"FBI, OPEN UP!"
"Oh this is about Elon? Carry on."

Considering that America is a plutocracy, the FBI is probably more likely to knock on your door over wishing the death of a billionaire than a politician.
