Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

USA is an oligarchy. I can imagine americans disagree. But perhaps not lemmies.

Americans disagree

Most of us wouldn't, and the rest of us will probably get on board if you rephrase oligarchy as "under the control of out of touch rich elites" because a lot of us are reflexively against anything that sounds educated.

American here and I completely agree

Yeah. Considering the 90% pro-commie sentiment on here you're probably right.
