I think it’s worse. I think we have noble houses fighting for the throne again. The Bush family, the Clinton family, they wanted Michelle Obama.. In what sane democracy does the family member or wife of the last elected leader make sense as being the best option? Forget oligarchy, we have a straight up monarchy brewing with a nice democratic paint job.

That's how an oligarchy works though. A few powerful people, usually dynastic families, decide how the country should be run. You're giving an example of oligarchs picking an oligarch. How is that evidence of monarchy rather than oligarchy?

Speaking of the nice paint job, it's a good job you guys made that Eagle thing official. That makes it nice and clear that you're not at risk of transitioning from democracy to dictatorship.

Blood descendants are a foundation of monarchy though
