We are already on the road of losing our capitalist status and headed towards socialism. Why, do you ask? Laziness. Democracies have never lasted more than 200 years, and so many people here are wanting something for nothing. People are losing the desire to work for a living and want to mooch off the government. We will end up socialist, and eventually become a full dictatorship. And of the country lasts long enough, democracy will kick back in for another couple hundred years.
Now to the subject of presidential candidates. Both Hilary and Obama are complete dolts, Hilary is flat out ignorant, being one of the group that puts all the blame on video games and guns, and Obama dosen't seem to know a lick about politics.
One thing Hilary is obviously too thick-skulled to know- the second amendment- right to bear arms. You can put restrictions on firearms, but cannot outright ban them.
