According to a recent Princeton study, the USA is an oligarchy. This is not a surprise to anyone who as been paying attention for the last few decades. In an oligarchy elections are nothing more than a side show to pacify and distract the population. The USA ruling party is quite successful at it. The Romans had bread and circuses, the USA has Big Macs and elections (you can throw sports, "reality TV" and celebrity gossip in there too).
