someone hit me with the "America is not a democracy" t'other day.

I asked "do Americans not vote then?"

no reply.

We do. But the people we voted for in the past get to decide who we are allowed to vote for in the future. And money decides who gets their message spread to the most people.

It's more of a subversion of democracy.
