Makes sense why they like Putin so much, despite him not even pretending to be any sort of communist.
“Winning 105% of the vote in Chechnya!? He MUST be the True Workers’ Candidate, that’s what the Soviet Union taught me!”
These two felt more support than would fit on one ballot.
Elections mean democracy, and only 1 candidate means you are free to disengage from politics, best of both worlds clearly /j
LOL I have always loved how they have decided that Communism, a very liberal economic system, is not liberal.
Beg pardon?
Liberalism is a capitalist ideology. I think you’re using the colloquial definition of liberal and not the textbook definition of liberal
Elections with 2 candidates are not 100% better.
Uh… they are, pretty much by definition.
You are ignoring what “better” means
By basic math, they are in fact better by exactly 100%.
That’s not how it works 😅
Would you like to specify what elections you’re talking about?
Any election where only 2 people on the ballot matter.
“It’s not democracy if two coalitions attract a majority of the population to vote for one or the other”?
Like, fuck, there’s so much wrong with two-party systems, but “It’s not democratic” kind of fucking ignores that there’s nothing keeping any given party competitive except the support of a near-majority for the coalition.
I didn’t say a 2 person ballot wasn’t a democracy. I said it wasn’t even twice as good as a dictatorship.

… I’m lost.
They’re trying to say the American political system sucks in the dumbest possible way.
A binary choice democracy is barely better than a dictatorship.
Often both candidates serve the same master.
Man, Westerners who have never lived understand a dictatorship saying stupid shit like this really grinds my gears. Like, don’t make these sorts of statements until you’ve had to make sure you don’t complain about prices too much with friends in case one of them is an informant for the secret police.
