I disagree. Californians have enjoyed a lot of supremacy at the national level. Nancy Pelosi was the House speaker for quite some time, Kevin McCarthy was elected House speaker. State representatives are pretty immune to this kind of criticism. If someone who managed San Francisco tried to run for national office I think what you said would happen, but I think more than just independents would call them out.

- edgyquant 3y agoWe are not an oligarchy and that term has a specific meaning you seem to not understand. In the US you don’t become wealthy because of your control of government (an oligarch) you control the government due to having first acquired wealth. This is a plutarchy, which American is a lot closer to being.
