minus-square☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆@lemmy.mlMlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·18 days agoSorry, you can’t kill something that doesn’t exist in the first place. What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it. And BlackRock ECO just came out and openly said that it ‘doesn’t matter’ who wins US election; Trump & Kamala benefit Wall Street People acting like there is some big difference between two parties who both represent the dictatorship of capital are ignorant beyond belief.
