It's a feature, not a bug.
Capitalist dictatorship*, with the illusion of democracy. No different to the USSR or CCP and the illusion of workers owning the means of production.
*you can vote for whoever you want, but when "donations" from wealthy individuals and corporations have already pre-filtered and pre-positioned the majority of politicians, wealth has seized the means of democracy and created what is functionally equivalent to capitalist dictatorship, all but guaranteeing the political class represent their donors more than the entire working class.
