It was always owned by the moneyed powers. It was the founding fathers who realized that their original setup had made democracy a little too actually democratic and they were afraid the will of the people would reflect, ukno, the *actual* people

It's always been a power struggle. It was clear when the democratic party was first created. A civil war ensued and of course the country was never on the same page again. I think it's a fools dream to think a democracy could ever work with such drastically different perspectives of 2 parties.
