Now, would you mind telling me just how capitalism prevents me from choosing freely? Is there some law in capitalism that says that I cannot nominate Bob Buttmunch Jones, National Socialist? I'm very very very curious to hear how capitalism prevents me from voting freely.

Capitalism does not carry any rules, it has only the law of the jungle. The one wich is the strongest gets the most power. You must for example understand that when you sell your electricity lines, or your drinking water installations, there will be no longer a democraticly chosen party ruling over it.
The hierarchy in the businesses is more likely to be a dictatorship like system. There is simply one big boss. (exceptions ofcourse)
And no, there is no rule that forbids you can choose your friend Buttmunch, but there is also no rule that says you can.
The leaders are chosen between a very small group of people. They are selected by the businesses together with the parties, they decide who the best choices are for the people to choose on. So they show you the candidates.
Your precious little media democracy makes you believe you choose freely, while instead you see just 4 or 5 candidates, where only 2 candidates will always remain.
But I am seriously interested, when did the commercial of the political party of your friend Buttmuch the national socialist air? I really believe the only political commercials you will see on American television will either be the Republicans or the Democrats.
