- the elites of a single party got to choose a new leader.

Whereas the elites of a single wealth class got buy a new leader here.

Good to see Visitor is all for a Gov Contractor who got $40 billion of taxpayer money in contracts, loans, and tax breaks... and still gets $8 million a day... also being able to spend at least $300 million to elect a President.

As long as money is speech, as Republicans have made the laws, the moneyed interests will own the Government.

And rwingers will still be stupid enough to support that.

- you created a narrative out of whole cloth

I stated facts which you called a narrative because you can't refute said facts.

- undemocratic.

The preferred system of the Musk-Thiel Oligarchs whom you think of as Gods is the one they have in Singapore; a Corporate Autocracy where the Dear Leader is the Dir of the Board, chosen by the Board.

That's the term used by some here when the only other real Party pushes a fraud, a liar, a rapist, a criminal, and a traitor as a great candidate that everyone should vote for.

And then puts billions in Oligarch money behind him to generate media-based votes.

So, yeah... an undemocratic dictatorship where the new King requires loyalty oaths to him, not the Constitution, and flaunts the laws that would prevent him from being King.

While tearing down the country, it's people, and the country's former leading role in the world.
