IS THERE FREEDOM OF CHOICE IN THE UNITED STATES?

During a 2001 appearance alongside Black conservative commentator Horace Cooper on comedian Bill Maher’s TV programme, ‘Politically Incorrect,’ George Carlin (1937-2008) argued no political choice exists in the United States. The US comedian, actor, author and social critic said people can only vote for one of two political parties most of the time. Yet, they can find dozens of options in grocery stores. Carlin called it the ‘illusion of the freedom of choice.’
