USA is an oligarchy. I can imagine americans disagree. But perhaps not lemmies.
Most of us wouldn't, and the rest of us will probably get on board if you rephrase oligarchy as "under the control of out of touch rich elites" because a lot of us are reflexively against anything that sounds educated.

That's a great word, thanks!
Lemmies agree with you
Almost the entire world is, that's not controversial, that's fact
Thoughts can be controversial at some places, whilst not at most others. Still controversial.
I think a lot of you didn't understand the assignment. The question was around unpopular opinions.
It feels like you are all trying to run for highschool class president again.
And what do you know of it not being an impopular opinion in the US? I think you misinterpreted the assignment, it doesn't say where (locally or globally) it is impopular.
I do not enjoy grumpy and unnecessary comments.
Most of us Americans don't know what oligarchy means lmao
Considering almost every reply you're getting is telling you the same thing and you're the one arguing a bad position, I'm gonna have to say it's your comment that's unnecessary.
Also, no one's being grumpy to you, they're just trying to correct you. If that's what you call grumpy, maybe a thread on unpopular opinions isn't the best place for a snowflake to post.
This sounds very besserwisser and grumpy. Get a life.
American here and I completely agree
I disagree on the basis of how many people willingly vote Republican.
Yeah. Considering the 90% pro-commie sentiment on here you're probably right.
