No. I'm arguing that "democracy" is an illusion when your level of speech and representation is proportional to your wealth; when 99% of the political class, and journalistic establishment that controls and manufactures the information the working class are exposed to their entire lives, is owned and operated by billionaires/oligarchs.

But sure, continue believing our political system can be democracy while the entire economic system — every corporation — is structured as an oligarchy. Nothing fundamentally contradictory there. You can have any colour you want as long as it's black!
