in each era, it seemed like American democracy had been conquered by an oligarchy

the oligarchs had controlled the media as well as the government

Now check the lady's previous chronicle in which she states that she is awaiting the firepower of a top oligarch, Blumie, presumably to stall the populist candidate.

WTF

She can be wrong about Blumie and still right about lots of stuff. Let's allow this very knowledgeable lady some humanity. Like many, she is casting, always at risk of despair, for a way Trump can be defeated.

I yield to your point that she is casting.

Democrats find themselves in a bad spot. Important voices spent so much time and energy going after Trump that they left the addressing of the salient and substantive issues relating to the people's bread basket and social mobility to Bernie...the most consistent politician. As a result Bernie has broaden his base considerably. Now many of the voices fear Bernie

If it is seen that Bernie is denied due to importation of Oligarchs, changing of rules, shenanigans etc then a major rift in the party will ensue.

The lady knows her history. I would surely like her take on the Democratic Party history in the 1940s.
