Anonbal185,

He won’t hold elections.

He’s a dead man if he’s not the president or if he loses the war. There’s no way out for him, it’s all in until the end.

And Republicans want to move there. It’s their favorite version of North Korea.

We’ll when you jailed your political rival for 10 years why have one?

xantoxis,

Putin is widely expected to declare his bid for a sixth overall presidential term.

Oh, his “bid”? Is he gonna roll those dice one more time? See if he breaks lucky?

cpo,

A “bid” would entail something like “chance”. And that chance would not depend on the citizens, but on his cronies…

lorkano,

100% chance is still a chance

Hazdaz,

Don’t feel bad for the Russian people.

They deserve this shit for putting up with this year after year as they could clearly see him grabbing more and more power. If they revolted against him 10 or even 15 years ago when he had a fraction of the power that he does now, it never would have gotten so bad and this pointless war in Ukraine might have never happened.

It is when you’re talking about a nation. Putin rules by consent of the governed, they can revoke it

MaxPower,

Russian President Vladimir Putin can choose not to hold presidential elections next year because he will “obviously” win re-election, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said late Sunday.

I agree, why even bother?

If the russian population is eating the bullshit thrown before them, why hold elections… Save yourself the hassle and stop pretend to be a democracy.

And yeah, I imagine the TRUMP-MAGA-GOP is cumming right in their pants without even touching when Putin actually just calls of the elections.

potterpockets,

Republican party leadership like

eran_morad,

republicans creaming their pants rn.

Hazdaz,

They’re taking notes!

echodot,

They forgot to step one though. Have someone in your ranks with more brains than a fruit fly.

Chunk,

Fucking lmaooo

Pringles,

I’m actually curious how open and fair elections would play out in Russia. I think he would probably still win comfortably if only for the limited amount of information a lot of Russians get. Hell, apparently even toilets are a luxury there.

sndmn,

That shithole is nothing but a Potemkin country.

dangblingus,

Well, in 2020 he did make it law that he was dictator for life. So, what’s the point of going through the motions anymore?

Burn_The_Right,

He has achieved conservatism’s natural final form of “leadership”.

LastSprinkles,

He’s afraid Prigozhin will run.

PurpleTentacle,

“Our presidential election is not really democracy […]"

Well, duh!

all the manpower they would use to rig the elections is lying in ditches in Ukraine
