The deeper one digs into our current model, the less democratic it looks. From the electoral college to majority leader autocracy, from gerrymandering to disenfranchisement, the common thread is rather the opposite of democracy. A government handpicked by the wealthy donor class, governing without regard for the citizenry/will of the people. An autocracy/plutocracy hybrid?
