US politics is absolutely retarded but at least you aren't going to fall out of a window for criticizing the president.

No, but if you blow the whistle on a US company you might end up suicided.

Oh yea, true but that less about politics and more about capitalist creed. The US also has a police system that seemingly runs on the ritual sacrifice of innumerable black folk and pets but that is also not relevant.

Capitalist greed is what influences the base of US politics, though.
