Wrong, there are at least 8 other parties in congress and at local levels you don’t need to be a member of any party to be elected to certain posts. Where’s your evidence of the votes being fixed? You’re just lying and making things up about spooky enemy country
Same thing in other countries. US only has two parties to choose from and the elections don’t matter, sometimes they even make the person who got less votes than the other one president.
How many parties in Congress? Every president for over a century has been one of the two parties, it’s not a democracy at all. That’s a good thing by the way. If it was a democracy the lazy poors could vote away the power of the rich. That’s why James Madison who wrote the constitution said we can’t have a democracy because it would stop us from hoarding wealth. I’m glad he did that because otherwise us wealthy folk wouldn’t be able to do whatever we want.
Chinas problem is it has too much democracy. The people that live there like their government (gross!) and say that it is democratic. That’s because the lazy poors over there get to run the show and the rich can’t just do whatever they want (NOT GOOD).
The Democrat and Republican parties definitely determine who can run since they make all the laws. It’s a dictatorship, which is good for me since I’m rich and I don’t want lazy poors to be able to vote for dumb policies that tax me more to pay for handouts.
Oh no, somebody should tell them!
