A simpler definition, and the origin of the word. It's definition has never changed.

An oligarchy is dictatorship by committee.
 
Hume said:
Biden described a “dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra-wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked”.

“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedom, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” Biden said.

Great thread, I see you didn't bother injecting a single thought of your own, SMART MOVE.

The answer to the question is a very simple NO. Do I or anyone with a functioning brain cell need to elaborate? Of course, we do. How about you answer an easy question. What examples, or just one example, do you have of the President 'allowing billionaires' to control the a part of our government? Ahh... What? How can I say that? Am I blind or just willfully ignorant? No, you are AGAIN, of course.

First, what about DOGE? Isn't that giving control of government to a Billionaire? Ahhh, No, it's actually just renaming USDS an existing organization within the executive branch. It was initially formed as a crisis response team, helping to rescue ObamaCare's website. Originally touted to deliver better government services to the American people. lol. Didn't work out so much. Now, it's aimed at reducing government power over Americans, not handing control to enrich billionaires. Not to mention, it's temporary.

Next, "how about all the billionaires hanging out and getting away with investing hundreds of billions in AI and other 'terrible businesses?' No, you fools, investing in America is good, we're looking for actual examples of handing over control here, not kick-ass economic growth. So....

Third, I'm already tired of highlighting your Libtard lunacy, so you can fill in the third, fourth, and however many more absurd claims you've got, and I will or someone here will explain the stupidity of each one. Fair enough? A big ask, I know. You might have to click a few times to gather up your talking points to parrot. Maybe, there's some good ones right in the OP's article, won't that be easy for you? Anyways, I can't wait.

Sure, I'll pretend with you, NOT. The questions are two clicks away and I've already asked them once. I'm a big boy and can read comments regardless if they're not from a 'friendly' member with nice things to say. I should think you can be a big boy for Mommy and stop being a little bitch. lol Read them and try to answer them. You won't of course. I doesn't matter how I write questions to drones it's always the same.
