It's a big club, and you ain't in it

67. No, my posts are NOT about needing to change oligarchy.

I am specifically refuting the statement that it exists in America at all. People outside DU don't have to conform to DU's rules. But here promoting insidious conspiracy theories that could undermine confidence in the Democratic Party is not okay.

Criticism of the party and the republic it serves positively, honestly and responsibly is constructive. Deliberately negative, dishonest and irresponsible misrepresentations are not.

Claiming that our nation is run by an oligarchy, meaning our party and electoral system are merely parts of a phony facade under their direction is very much not okay.

Oligarchy
1. A form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few.
2. A state or organization so ruled.
3. The persons or class so ruling.
