There is debate on the Wikipedia talk page for “United States” to change the form of government to “Oligarchy”.

the democracy of the united states is still strong. its people are just fairly apathetic when it comes to their governance. (and who can blame them considering how things are set up?) and theres too many whiners such as those that want to change it to oiligarchy. unless its because they want to change it to oligarchy to take power away from the people in the sense of making them feel like they are powerless when they are not. in th US we have the power of petition. peaceful protest, etc.. we have the right of speech though most people just use it to complain and hate on others for no good reason it seems lately. it is only a democracy if peopel actually pay attention and particpate. i mean yeah maybe there are select people in power but we agreed to have them there. (or just plain lost the election of their choice of candidate) either way its still democracy-ish. lol
