Actually, the difference between a dictatorship and a democracy is who
decides whether you whitelist or blacklist, and what's on the list
either way (the dictator, or the populace).


In america, the difference between a dictatorship and democracy is this:

Cuba has to choose between castro or castro

America has to choose between democrat or rebublican
