American journalist and comedian Lee Camp just dropped a truth bomb 💣 on U.S. democracy – and everyone’s talking about it. In a viral monologue timed with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s attendance at the Summit for Democracy in Seoul, Camp called America’s political system \"the best fake democracy in the world.\" 🎭
From Founding Fathers to Corporate Puppets 🤖
Camp takes viewers on a history lesson 🏛️: \"In 1787, only white landowning men could vote – that’s like calling your 3-dog basketball team ‘pro athletes.’\" Fast-forward to 2024, and he argues nothing’s changed: \"It’s a mental hospital run by oligarchs with ice cream dripping down their chins.\" 🍦😬
Princeton Study Goes Viral 📉
The comic cited a 🔥2014 Princeton study revealing policies only pass if corporate elites approve: \"Want healthcare reform? ZERO chance unless Pharma CEOs say ‘yes.’\" Camp deadpanned: \"Our democracy works great… if you’re a Fortune 500 company.\" 💼
$14.4 Billion Election Circus 🎪
2020’s election spending hit $14.4 billion – enough to buy 28 billion avocado toasts 🥑. \"It’s Jeff Bezos vs. a homeless orphan in poker,\" Camp joked. \"Third parties? They’re like TikTokers at the Met Gala – cute but not getting in.\" 👗
As the Summit for Democracy wraps up, Camp’s message resonates globally 🌏: \"True democracy means people, not corporations, holding the mic.\" 🎤✨
