It is capitalistic in the sense that people with large capital make the big decisions. It's easy to pay off politicians if there are only 2 sides. Heck, a manager from Blackrock just recently blatently stated that its easy to buy a Senator. For just 10k you got him in your pocket.

And what are called "political donations", would fall under the law of corruption in many European countries.

This is one of many reasons I’m convinced our government is kayfabe at this point. Nobody who was truly making the calls on a trillion dollar budget would sell for that cheap. The general pro wrestling level of discourse is another reason, but there are many more.
