  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Lmao. They have a different democracy than yours, that's not automatically a dictatorship in the way you mean it. Inasmuch as a liberal system can be "democratic", the US has no leg to stand on calling others dictatorships. Your presidents might as well come out with a big hand up their ass on a podium branded with your banks' names.

I'm not American, nor was that my logic. Please don't resort to strawmen as dumb as "different form of democracy = dictatorship".
