    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.
