&gt; The bottom line is people don&#x27;t have the representative power they think they have. And other, most concentrated power centers make decisions for them.<p>The sheer volume of people who think the two parties are the same and&#x2F;or their voting is pointless would disagree with you.<p>&gt; Whether it is one person or 20 large companies doesn&#x27;t matter much. I can&#x27;t quite be one person so on paper it will never be dictatorship<p>A large number of opposing poles on a spectrum are involved, it isn&#x27;t just &quot;20 companies&quot;.
