What's rough is that the system is a positive feedback loop. Corruption and lack of representation makes it even easier for bribery and corruption to occur in the future.

This kind of stuff is why I see America more as a corporate oligarchy than a democracy anymore. Gerrymandering, lobbying/bribery, and lack of contact with our government means it doesn't represent the people any longer.

I'd say kleptocracy.

The US has never been a democracy.
