With all the focus on the yankee circus they call “election”, is anyone here paying attention to the similar circus in Russia? Because we’re having an election starting today (and through the Weekend).
The propaganda has been quite something. Interestingly, it mostly centers not on “vote for candidate X”, but rather on the act of voting itself. The establishment seems very keen on having as many people show up as possible
I wonder who’ll win
my bet’s on the geriatric imperialist
(I just realized you were probably talking about the Russian elections whoops)
miss soviets
I miss 'em too.
Are there any decent candidates besides Putin or is it all just shit?
Nope, it’s all pretty bad. I’m waiting for a newer generation to take the lead in CPRF
I’ve never even heard of most of those bozos
At times, it feels like they’re more well-known overseas than inside their own country…
You are Russian?
Is this the Presidential election?
I hear the Russian communists barely compete as is.
Yes, yes and yes
Oh no…
