Fixed

Ok you got me, a billionaire got elected by throwing heaps of money at his election and foreign entities working towards the goal of smearing his opponent, so america is definitely not an oligarchy..
Wait what?
Trump now has the lowest first year approval rating in history, so i guess everything worked out for those poor working class people.

My point is that everyone still gets a vote and it's equal value (ish). The thing I find annoying is that if Hillary lost by 10 million people, but won the electoral college, you'd see dems laughing at republicans and arguing the exact same point republicans are arguing with their win, it's how it was designed by the constitution. It just didn't go in the democrats favor, so boohoo.

Not really a new face of evil....

I disagree. You likely would be seeing a much larger backlash from republicans. I mean hell, trump was calling for a second amendment solution to a hillary victory...

When you take into contrast the definition: profound immorality and wickedness, especially when regarded as a supernatural force.
It has got to the point where too big to fail corporations are a power unto themselves and rival those supernatural forces of evil early civilization feared.
Now see a corporation is not evil out of malice, they are evil out of the lack of empathy that comes from a group collective based on greed.
They can justify the same evils that a truly evil person would do but the corporation keeps them at arms length, no one has to take responsibility.
Sure corporations are not new, but the sheer scope of the current ones would boggle the mind of people back in the 1800's who just had to deal with your run of the mill evil robber barons and axe murderers.
These days a company like bp can kill a few million sea creatures, 7 employees and poison a few thousand more and no one bats an eye and no one takes responsibility.

oh they'd be doing more than laughing, they'd be worshiping that 'flawed' document called that Constitution like it was Communist Manifesto and Rules for Radicals and all rolled into one

The ONLY problem I see with the Constitution and the Amendments, is the millions of lawyers/politicians trying to find loopholes in the two documents.

What was the old face ?

Serial killers, dictators, robber barons, etc.
