Letter: We are no longer a representative democracy

The largest commercial advertiser in the U.S. in 2019 was Amazon at $6.88 billion. In comparison, the Democrats and Republicans spent $14 billion on the election! The result? The biggest spender won 89.2% of House races, and 71.9% in the Senate. Democrats maintained a majority in the House but lost a handful of seats. Republicans may lose their majority in the Senate if they lose the two seats to be decided in runoffs early next year.With this kind of spending, we clearly are no longer a represe
