March 15, 20242 yr Russia election 2024: Voting begins in election Putin is bound to win https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68505228 I heard an interview with a woman who is going to vote, but to make sure her vote cannot be counted by doing something illegal to the ballot (she didn't say) that would cause it to be disqualified, so her vote could not be changed and stolen for Putln. DE-MOCK-RACY!!!
March 18, 20242 yr Looks pretty free and fair to me. Other than the guy with a gun watching, and the voter having to fill out the paper in plan sight of everyone. Pretty standard democracy stuff.
March 18, 20242 yr I'm old enough to remember when dingleberries like Solz and TEW would try to argue that Putin wasn't actually a dictator, he was just incredibly popular with his own people which is why he was winning election after election in landslides. Twas a quaint time in CVON history.

He was another russophile similar to Abra who would spend every day in here knob-slobbing Putin and Trump. He also was a fundamentalist christian and ended up getting his feelings hurt when people in the flat earth thread started to make fun of creationism, so he requested the mods delete his account. For a bit, I thought abra was solz under a clone account but while he was just as crazy, the tone of the posts didn't quite line up. Solz came across as a super bitter, angry, old man whereas abra seemed like he was more in his twenties or thirties and blurred the line between trolling and insanity.

March 18, 20242 yr Quote "It's transparent and absolutely objective," Putin suggested, "not like in the US with mail-in voting... you can buy a vote for $10".

They'll both give you a specious argument about false equivalence to justify their respective inextricable cognitive biases.

But you can't argue which extreme actually has control of the party apparatus. Lara Trump literally cleaned out the RNC. There's no equivalence and you're a daft c-you-nt if you think there is.

Claimed to be a former teacher who maybe sold firearms??? (or had some sort of job involving guns). His self-imposed ban was right around the time of my moderator-imposed ban lol. Mine was a couple weeks after the Super Bowl win for reference…
