"Democracy just slipped a little closer to oblivion."
People often don't realize just how much of the US system was modeled on Ancient Rome.
Specifically how much power (and responsibility) is placed in the hands of individuals.
This requires a very high standard of individual to hold those posts otherwise the system is basically owned by whoever puts their man into the post.
And in this case it's Big Cable/Telco.
