The OP mentioned companies play a kingmaker role by owning the platforms on which elections are won and lost. The implication is that they can directly and disproportionately influence the government, such that the government is their tool and not the people’s tool, as in a bonafide democracy.
The question isn’t whether the government or corporations have more power, it’s whether corporations or the people control the government and in which proportions.
