Résumé analytique comparatif Both articles deal with the power of money during last year’s American presidential election. Document 1 underlined its use within political spheres while Document 2 relates to the caveat expressed by former President Joe Biden around the growing oligarchy and the threat it represents to democracy. To begin with, money was used as a political tool for Trump to be elected. Document 1 sheds light on the fact that billionaires wield much power thanks to their use of money, Elon Musk is a case in point in that regard. Scott Nover, author of the article, stresses the great number of these billionaires and their involvement into political spheres : they financed campaigns (Musk for Trump, Bill Gates for Kamala Harris). To make matters worse, not only do billionaires finance campaign but they also control opinions. Document 2 recalls that the influence they have over the media allows them to share their stance whereby misinformation, that could convince the viewers to adhere to certain ideas. Joe Biden, consequently, warns about the excess of influence hav billionaires have. Furthermore, this sway seems to gain traction within working-class groups which find a solution to the anger they feel with politicians (doc. 1). As a result, money and billionaires appear to wield much power and their influence during last year’s American presidential election undeniable. As a consequence, that use of money also emphasized the rising oligarchy and revealed its threat to democracy. As a matter of fact, both articles are seeking the outcome of such a use of money within Politics and particularly last year’s election. Document 2 highlights how Biden seems worried Biden seemed during his farewell speech. Money would be the root cause of a rising oligarchy, that is a political system set by only a few people. Both articles hinge upon the result that might have over the society, in both cases this oligarchy or even plutocracy could symbolize a threat to democracy owing to the conflicts of interest and the fact that billionaires will always priviledge their interests over the people’s. Document 2 sets the alarm ringing around the possible collapse of the Checks and balances system while document 1 surmises that working- class Americans are likely to be deceived. Conversely, document 1 also contemplates the possibility of taxes against those billionaires but at the end of the day their power still constitutes a threat to democracy.
