You only forgot a G in bringing, forgot a comma, and forgot to capitalize. But this is the internet, so you get a pass.
Now, two choices.
A. This whole thing is bullshit,
or B. You are self-depricating yourself for no reason.

Also, the US is not a dictatorship. Who Knew?

You didn't answer my question. They only got 2 parties, which both are capitalists right?

The US has many different parties, but, yeah, there are two main ones. All the others are groups as third parties, and a minority of people ever actually vote for them during an election. (way simplified answer)


I have no idea what you call those people who vote for fictional characters....
O_O

Oh I hear you. I got so pissed off when I found out some of my friends wrote in Optimus Prime or Bugs Bunny instead of a real person since they didn't want any of the main people running,

lol, I've always heard Mickey Mouse is the most popular write in. I wonder what they'd do if he ever actually won. I bet MIckey is a commie.

Guys, can you take anything on this forum seriously? He's asking for an honest answer. Grow up for at least thirty minutes, okay?

And throughout USAs history, only the capitalists have ruled the country. I guess the USA is as much of an dictatorship as a China...

We pretty much have 3 parties, 2 get the most votes. We like capitalism. We have congress and stuff to balance out the president. Even though sometimes its not that balanced it does not equal a dictatorship. Capitalsm is anti communism if I understand capitalism. Wealth is privately owned, the gov does not control the companies. laissez-faire is where the big government has nothing to do with the companies. Which is why right-wings are pooping their pants saying obama is going to turn American into a socialist country which will somehow turn into a communist country.

A dictator is one person that can rule a country that is not bounded down by laws. Because U.S. president is restricted by the constitution and commandments and congress, he/she does not have all power. I think you have a misunderstanding of how dictators, and capitalism works or I am not getting the question. Im not some political buff so I might be a little wrong here and there.

I can see why people could think we would be a dictatorship when Bush was in office.
He went behind congress so many times illegally to just get his way and he had no right to even as president.
I am a little pissed at Obama for making it so Bush cannot get charges pressed against him and Cheney for all the wrong they did.

I'm pissed at Obama in general. If we're not careful, he'll turn this into a dicatorship.
