Yes, there's a world of difference between being able to choose from one option or 2.

As to the choice being an illusion because two parties often rule: tell that to the Whigs (one of the two parties that no longer exists in the UK), or to anyone that's held a balance of power in a coalition government.

one imprisons you for political dissent, one doesn't. "both sides are the same" is intellectually lazy.
