    Do you think people there don’t participate in elections? The party has literally 100 million members, people in China are politically involved.

          And how many parties were they allowed to make selections from? Were there any candidates that weren’t pre-approved by the leading party?

            One party where a basic platform is defined and differences are expressed vibrantly on top of that is better than two parties that brand themselves as different but only offer a couple of aesthetic differences and concessions to keep people mad at the opposing party and not the underlying structure

              …You’re really saying that one party where you have no functional choice is better than a multi-party system, just because you think that Republicans and Dems are too alike, while ignoriing the plethora of other parties that not only actually exist in the US, but hold office at local and state level?

              Shouldn’t expect any more from a tankie though.
