Democracy in general is a good way to help distribute power to inhibit oligarchy, but the specifics need a lot of help after centuries of loophole exploitation and changing circumstances. But the problem now is that any replacement system is usually going to heavily favor those who set it up, so a transitional time is really dangerous for authoritarian power grabs. Working to reform the system is safer, but sometimes isn’t possible, and is never easy.

I agree with you and love how simply you put it – The loopholes are just so exploited right now. Same thing with the Gilded age and we did correct for a bit of time after that!
