Vladimir Putin claims landslide Russian election victory
(www.theguardian.com)
Wow what a surprise…
Congratulations Mr. Putin, we knew you could do it 🎉
Like there is a choice
Of course there were multiple choices
- Vladimir Putin
- All of the above
- suicide by poisoning yourself and jumping out of a window after shooting yourself twice in the head
You forgot the 3rd party candidates,
- Vladimir Pootin
- V. Putin
- Vladdie P. Utin
- Mr. I Will Push You Out Of A Window
Navalny would have posed a legitimate challenge if someone wasn’t so afwaid of him
Over on hexbear they're saying navalny wasn't very popular and it's just western propaganda that he was murdered so dipshit (putin) could cosplay as a popular politician and not a whiney little bitch with a table 4x too long for his own good.
Hexbear is a hateful cesspool of shills and LLMs pushing Kremlin propaganda while masquerading as liberals.
Why do they think he was poisoned and thrown in prison I wonder. For jaywalking?😂 littering?😄
I don't know much about him, but some of the more in depth reporting on him I read said we in the West wouldn't like him much except for the fact that he was Putin's most credible opponent.
Hexbears are idiots
Why pretend anymore?
The Kremlin has brainwashed the Russian people to believe it. It's for their internal, captive audience.
At least during the soviet occupation the gave fruit to people to show up to vote for the one option...
putin and his homies running for presidency. I wonder if the other candidates were shitting their pants at the possibility of getting elected unexpectedly
If you get too many votes they'll paint the sidewalk outside your seventh floor apartment with your brains.
