as opposed to the illusion of choice provided in de facto two party "democracies"?
- nailer 7y agoYes, there's a world of difference between being able to choose from one option or 2. As to the choice being an illusion because two parties often rule: tell that to the Whigs (one of the two parties that no longer exists in the UK), or to anyone that's held a balance of power in a coalition government.
- ptah 7y agocurrent choices are between different shades of the same colour. it ultimately does not make a difference, it is an illusion
- notfromhere 7y agoone imprisons you for political dissent, one doesn't. "both sides are the same" is intellectually lazy.
