So Iran is a "practicing theocratic oligarchy" because the Ayatollah decides in the end who is going to be voted on for President.
But here in the US the major corporations, unions, and life-long politicians do the same thing (read super-delagates) and you call it democracy?
Wouldn't that make us a "practicing capitalist oligarchy"?
