that is exactly what i was saying. Im not arguing russia is bad or US is better. Im saying the US is pretty close to dictatorships these days.
I hope it gets better here in the US, and keeps getting better for Russia or any other country.
Even if a president is great, there's usually at least ONE person who's opposition. Saying there's no opposition whatsoever or disagreement is just a bit unrealistic.
