Man, Westerners who have never lived understand a dictatorship saying stupid shit like this really grinds my gears. Like, don’t make these sorts of statements until you’ve had to make sure you don’t complain about prices too much with friends in case one of them is an informant for the secret police.

A binary choice democracy is barely better than a dictatorship.
Often both candidates serve the same master.
