it's been made abundantly clear that a lot of americans have no fucking idea what anyone is talking about

Ye's best start believin' in oligarchies.

Yer in one!

Becoming..? The country founded on the principle that only landowners and capitalists should be represented democratically is becoming an oligarchy?

Some Americans don't even know how to spell it right, so I'm not sure they'll even be able to look it up:

I think we have definitive proof that the American public, in general, are idiots.

Two things are true:

1. He did a lot and still should have done more - still ends up as probably the most progressive president to hold the office. More of a criticism of this country.

2. All of you claiming "too little too late" don't think on the scale of history. Those things have never been said by that leader's voice, In that leader's office, broadcast on primetime TV to everyone, everywhere.

This is how progress works. Again, would have been better for him to say it from the start, but would have been fuel for the right (who doesn't even really need credible fuel for the people they talk to) even more obstructionist, bad faith ghouls.

All the above considered, we were fucked as soon as election result came in. Democracy is over, if there was s cashed they wouldn't try to literally draw and quarter Biden on the national mall in the next four years, this likely solidified it. Don't think him saying those words are said without personal risk. I think he failed to live up to the full mandate of his election, but this is an old mmm an whip knows he's about to die saying fuck it and pulling the pin on the grenade knowing he won't outrun the blast. In his reality, that's what this decision was.

What is oligarchy?

Something you live in.

Maybe you should have fucking Googled it sooner.

Huh, this actually seems legit. Compared to my ultra-scientific Google trends comparo it was half as popular of a search as Taylor Swift at its peak, which seems pretty big.

Jesus fucking Christ. 🤦‍♂️

All these dumbfucks will be Googling "What is a Great Depression?" in about a year too.

May Bird Flu thin the herd.

You might as well search for kakistocracy as well.

kakistocracy /kăk″ĭ-stŏk′rə-sē, kä″kĭ-/ noun

1. Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens. 

2. Government by the worst men. 

3. Government under the control of a nation's worst or least-qualified citizens.

Bernie's been saying this for a long time. I'm glad Biden understands that it's true and actually said it out loud to people. If someone asked me if Biden would say it some point, I would have said no fucking way.

It's not the worst thing that people are trying to educate themselves even if it's too late.

If only he and his party was in power for some years and could have done something about it...

So, Joe, Buddy, what exactly did you do in your four years to actually curb the power of the oligarchy?

Biden became a good president... in his last month in office.

Or to be blunt: He's being performative now when it doesn't matter

He’s just as complacent in the oligarchical society we currently have as anyone.

Microsoft is pissed, because they are not binging it instead.

This is click baity. People don't exclusively look up things they have no idea about. I'm constantly searching terms to reaffirm my understanding or to get a more precise definition of them. Oligarchy in particular doesn't have a measurable identification which of course people are going to want to dig a little into it. Hell there's a comment on here that made me dig into it since they're stretching it's definition way past it's meaning

We desperately need actual political science courses in high school, not just civics.

Probably the same people who were googling why Biden wasn't on the ticket on election day 🙄

Everyone is so busy asking what is Oligarchy, nobody bothered to ask how is Oligarchy. Truly sad

Growing? We’re already there buddy and you helped speed it up.
