CMV: The United States is an oligarchy masquerading as a democracy

Both the senate and house of representatives were about to sign a “continuing resolution” to further fund federal government programs and projects.

This has been in the works for months now, and would increase wages by 3.9% for all government employees but also increase and increase funding for primary healthcare and community medical centres. It was basically a bill to keep the lights on and keep the military paid and things like that.

Here comes Elon Musk, the richest man in the US, saying that the pay increase is 40% and is only for congress and that the bill would fund biolabs for weapons (??!!), he then proceeded to say that he will personally replace every republican who votes for it by out campaigning them out of their jobs next elections. So all of a sudden the bill doesn’t get signed.

the representatives are clearly not working in their constituents best interest (anymore ?) but rather their interests and the interests of the oligarchy that insert themselves into politics. Elon also has plans to insert himself into Democrats as well.

This post is not about the bill, not about Elon musk, not about government structure and division of power. This is about how after all is said and done, the oligarchy just does what it wants anyway.
