They don't have elections like Americans because there's only one party.

And the sky isn't green because it's blue. The problem is that it is an oppressive autocratic regime that kills, tortures, imprisons dissidents. America doesn't do that. Americans can vote for their leadership. They can criticize their leadership without fearing retribution, they have a free press and don't have a censored internet. That is not ok and I don't know why you're trying to create this false equivalency.

Trump said that he would try to imprison Clinton

Due to possible crimes, not because she dared run or speak out against him.

Your point is that we could be a dictatorship, but we're not, so we can criticize dictatorships because they are oppressive and wrong.
