    I like to blame capitalism for everything, too, but this has nothing to do with capitalism. Just the US Democracy not being a Democracy

      Capitalism worsens the principal agent problem of representative democracy because it’s trivial to bribe representatives, especially now.

      Ah yes the world richest man and a billionaire president have no financial motives for overthrowing the US gov. Definitely not the fault of the greedy capitalist system
