I for one can't even imagine how angry I would be if I only had 2 parties to vote for.

If you are referring to the United States, we are not a democracy. We are a democratic republic.

Then allow this humble retard to invite you to actually crack open a dictionary and look up the definition of "democracy". When you realize that the entire population doesn't vote on every single decision, granting that right to selected individuals - then come back hurling baseless and pedestrian insults.
