Tiberius Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Completely fraudulent elections, with opposition members in jail, fake candidates in circulation, mainstream media banned and Putin guaranteed to win. This is exactly what you dirty anti-democracy black guards want here. Quote Support for Putin’s United Russia party has been hovering around 30 percent, according to the independent pollster Levada. Yet analysts say there is little doubt that the party will take the lion’s share of seats. It is using all its tools to keep its 334-seat supermajority in the 450-seat lower house, the State Duma, and give the Kremlin another docile legislature. “The signs are very bad. I think this is the worst year in post-Soviet history,” said Andrei Kolesnikov, an analyst with the Carnegie Moscow Center. “It’s the same regime we have had for many years, but it’s much more repressive and much more cruel.” “This is full scale authoritarianism,” he added, “not hybrid as it was several years ago.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/russia-election-putin-navalny-parliament/2021/09/16/d000e6e2-1012-11ec-baca-86b144fc8a2d_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let me get this straight: For the previous FOUR YEARS you've been on here complaining to anyone who would listen because you falsely claimed Putin stole the election that 'you' lost back in 2016, and now because 'you' won, you've completely changed your mind on whether election integrity is important to our democracy?

Tiberius Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 The NRA has a candidate in the Russian Ruling Parties faux election Quote To retain control, United Russia has gone all out—and taken election shenanigans in Putin’s sham democracy to another level. Within the party, the last vestiges of independence have been purged. Oksana Pushkina, the lone progressive member who spent her last term in the Duma campaigning for women’s rights and legislating against domestic violence (which made her the target of a relentless harassment campaign), isn’t running. She has been replaced in her district by a nationalist, pro-Putin singer, who, barring an upset, will gain Pushkina’s seat. Pushing out professional legislators, United Russia has filled its ticket with assorted celebrities and pro-Kremlin activists. One is Maria Butina, who famously liaised with the U.S. National Rifle Association ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, spent several months in a U.S. prison for failing to register as a foreign agent, and was deported back to Russia. United Russia’s list also contains some political heavyweights, such as Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Neither is campaigning; their presence on the ticket can be understood as an attempt to impart some of their personal popularity on the increasingly unloved ruling party. https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/09/16/russia-election-duma-putin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
