I know the post is intended to be comical, just wanna say that more parties =/= more democracy.

Much in the same way 20+ brands of peanut butter on the shelf where the only major difference is the style of the label isn’t actual consumer choice.

Consumer choice is when you leave the decision of what's produced and how and where in the hands of the free market instead of democratic institutions and unions.
