“Democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy. And, right now, we are dealing with, as I called him at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant,” she said, referencing her rally last year on the White House Ellipse in Washington. “We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators.

      In fairness, the differences are slim.

      The thing people fail to realize is, the political spectrum isn’t a line that goes from left to right. It’s a ring, and the extremities almost touch.
