I couldn't get 88% of people to agree on which day of the week it was, much less who should be president.

GOP is just jealous because they have a hard time trying to pull off the same stunt in the US

That's literally all this is. He can fix an election and they can't even really pick their own fuckin candidate.

(Don't ask why they won last time despite getting less votes)

As stupid and fucked up the US elections are, that doesn’t give you the right to do something objectively worse. Shit up.

Edit: I decided to not correct that typo.

I love how all the western polling in Russia before the election shows that Putin has over 80% approval, and now all the western media acts like it's shocking that he got around that in the election. For example, here's an example from CNN just a few days ago

But Putin undoubtedly has reaped the rewards of a political landscape tilted dramatically in his favor. The Levada Center, a non-governmental polling organization, consistently reports Putin’s approval rating at over 80% – an eye-popping figure virtually unknown among Western politicians, and a substantial increase on the three-year period before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Absolute clown shit.

I don't think anyone is acting like it's shocking. On the contrary, it's exactly what everyone expected so it's not a surprise. After all, he's been Russia's President for 21 of the past 25 years.

Because before elections, west media wanted to convince us that all Russians are bad and you shouldn't oppose their government only.

There is no Democracy in the Untited states... there is a Facade of a Democracy while at BEST it is an Oligarchy.
