If you're in the middle, then how much "bad" do you consider a "good" thing? 50%?

Capitalism and Democracy as practiced in the US right now is an illusion.
If you mean the US doesn't actually practice capitalism and democracy, then you're correct. Liberalism/Communism has been quite successful in diluting the capitalistic system to a point that legal business no longer operates at any level without government regulation of everything from wages to safety to prices.

Only a few remaining "freedoms" are left to dismantle as we progress into the modern global society we are destined to be. With Hillary or Obama in leadership, welcome change is at hand.
