Ohhh, wait I did know that then. Though I still doubt I'd be able to tell the difference. v_v;

And I agree--the US should really have at least one more option. Two parties having a monopoly on everything really does just serve to create unnecessary divisions.

As for Japanese people... the only one I've ever really known was my aforementioned Japanese teacher who was super cool and would bring us back presents when she went to Japan. :>

The US does need more than two parties, however saying those two parties are a monopoly contradicts the definition of a monopoly by itself. A monopoly is when a single thing (company, person, etc) owns everything in that market. Like, if Apple was the only place you could get music players from that would be a monopoly. But if there are two parties then that automatically makes it not a monopoly. On top of that, monopolies are illegal here, in any sense.
 
I don't mean a monopoly in the literal sense of the word, I guess. :( It's more of a mutual monopoly? Lmao I'm making up terms here, I know, but atm, voting independent is basically pointless unless enough people do it. Most people won't because they want their vote to count so they pick one of the 2 main parties, effectively giving them (together) a monopoly on politics. If that makes sense.

I... think. D: I'm not entirely sure how your political parties work.

But I'm pretty sure monopoly can be used in that sense? o_O; I know it often is when describing the communications industry here in Canada because there are only like 3 main companies that provide that sort of thing here and they've got a legal monopoly on the industry because of it and consumers end up suffering because they get away with so much. v_v

Jeez, people, get off politics. When you're a non-politician and are associating yourself with politics publicly, well...you're pretty much saying "someone please hate me for no reason". Somebody change the subject please. ;_;
 
You guys are either stubborn or masochistic, no matter your rights to maintain the topic. D:

...fine, no more politics for now.

But pro-tip to people changing the topic: you've gotta actually give us something substantial to talk about or else we'll ignore it. :(
