I mean close. In USA you have one more candidate to choose from, and sometimes one or both the candidates are different than last time. And there's still a two term limit for presidents.

Putin would've been kinda ok if he had stopped at 8 years. The worst problems started after he started extending his reign.

But that other candidate isn’t any better or deserving of my vote either so it’s still the same. They’re both controlled by corporations. I won’t vote republican or democrat

Arguably presidents being controlled by corporations is slightly better than a president controlling the corporations. In the former case, the power is spread out more.

What OP said is that the US is a capitalist oligarchy like Russia, which is correct. OP did not say or imply that the US is identical to Russia, or similar to Russia in any other way, or that Russia is better than the US. So there’s no need for all the b-b-but in this thread.
