-		According to the study, the influence of economic elites and business interest groups on politics is rather high with a rough positive correlation as opposed to the flatline for the general public, making the US an oligarchy rather than a democracy.   Mass-based interest groups have discernable impact on policies, but are still trivial compared with economic elites and businesses.  About three billion dollars are spent yearly by large "politically active" businesses to bribe politicians to pass policies for their interest.  While businesses should have a say in legislation, it is unacceptable that they have superior dominance over public opinion.

 		Some people believe that the Senate helps against populism as opposed to the House.  Although the number of Senators for each state do indeed not correspond to the population, this has no correlation whatsoever with preventing populism and doesn't serve an obvious purpose.  It only "helps" by giving completely unproportional voting powers to people based on their location, period.

-		The Senate also suffers from the fillibuster.  Passing a bill in the Senate has a few steps: Firstly the Senators must <em>agree to vote</em>, passed at a supermajority.

-		Single-winner elections in the US uses what's called "plurality voting", where each voter casts one vote to their favorite canidate and the canidate with the most votes win.  This contributes to the partisan dualopoly (not an actual word, but it basically means "monopoly" but with two rather than one) as voters who support smaller parties will undergo the decision of choosing their honest favorite or one of the two big parties that most closely ressembles their favorite.  As it's hard to gather votes for smaller parties, and thus there's a small chance of them actually winning the electron, many voters strategically vote for the big party in order to not be "taken over" by the big party that they oppose more.
