      Yeah, I kinda assumed all elections from here on out will be like Russia: you can vote for whoever you want, but it won’t count and you’re going to get a visit afterwards.

        I wish its a Russia situation, at least then I can claim political asylum in EU.

        Nope, we’re getting a Turkey situation, where the world still recognize the US as a democracy. So no political asylum to the EU lol.

        (But also, people in Turkey have Schengen access, US citizens don’t have such a thing. So its like Turkey minus Schengen, even worse than Turkey lol)

      “Allowed to win” implies they’re actually trying to win rather than simply being “controlled opposition” for the Republican party to make elections appear legitimate.
