Are they though? Bernie Sanders wasn't even allowed to debate as a popular presidential candidate because he didn't have a corporate sponsor or Super PAC funding.

If voters are only choosing amongst candidates put forth by the establishment, and the establishment relies on funding and support from special interests, then democratically elected is somewhat different than democratically selected, isn't it?

I wasn't referring to the executive branch of the US government, in fact that branch has been chosen by state appointed electors and not individual citizens since its beginning.

Bernie Sanders debated every single primary debate. They were televised, they're still on YouTube.

Here's a compilation of everything he said in the Nevada debate: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fricqR4t28Q
