When people talk about the illegitimacy of democracy under capitalism, this scarecrow and her late husband are why.
How can democracy co-exist in an economic system where orgs are run like dictatorships from the top down, and individuals hold more wealth, power, and influence than entire nation states — despite those orgs employing, and being dependent on, thousands or millions of workers?
I’m no fan of capitalism, but this type of electoral dysfunction seems to run particularly deep in America. There’s many other democracies in capitalist nations that have the basic sense to treat such brazen bribery as a crime.
And fuck a system in which their opinion’s correct
It’s called a plutocracy … a system built on power and those who hold power.
Whatever it is … it isn’t a democracy.

Poor wording, consider “in which they’re correct”
