Billionaires ARE democratically chosen. Think that all the way through. What is more democratic than direct voting with ones dollars? Politicians in the US are actually not all that democratically chosen. The individual vote accounts for almost nothing. Look into how the electoral college system works for example. There are 2 great ways to learn a bit more about this, one in the form of an Adam Ruins Everything episode on voting, and the other in the form of this video by Cenk of TYT network: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcc0Q_6pZYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcc0Q_6pZYU

- Retra 11y ago>What is more democratic than direct voting with ones dollars? Are you serious? How about voting with your voice. Next you'll be arguing that we should vote with bullets and that'll make a democracy. There are things that you simply can't "vote with your dollars" for. And you sure as shit can't do it if you don't have any money.
