    Why do people from Europe go and build monuments and luxury in Saudi Arabia?

    Money. Same answer in the US.

    The US is an oligarchy, as attested to by this Oxford study. To answer your question, mostly yes, hence places like “Silicon Valley” and institutions like the electoral college.

        An election was stolen in broad fucking daylight in 2000. That was the canary in the coal mine on election interference.
