Voting begins in Russian presidential election

[@andypartelle9416]

CBC has allowed comments on this one, aren't we just privileged.

[@aspman97]

They feel it forwards the agenda by appearing to hold the election up as an example of "how bad it is in other countries" when, in fact, it's more democratic than it is in western countries.

[@garybeaton3802]

The CBC is expecting all of us to blame Putin. For all the ills of the world.

[@cptkirkp]

they deleted mine

[@garybeaton3802]

My comment got deleted too. KZbin is now adjusting the reply total to only the approved comments so it is impossible to tell how many comments are being deleted. Very courageous CBC. You have turned me into a Defunder.

[@RC-tv7hi]

Yes, it is worth it. A vote in Russia is a vote seen around the world. I expect a record turnout in Russia. The extra votes in this russian election are not just for putin...they are for you. Russians want you to see what they believe in. Learn from Russians and fix your own country before critizing others.

[@natalieturko4808]

​@@RC-tv7hiComplete nonsense! There are NO political opponents. The only "candidate" is Putin. You have the NERVE to force Ukrainians in occupied Ukraine to vote for Putin under the barrel of a gun. You have NO democracy whatsoever. Putin is your Emperor for life. Disgraceful.

[@EXCLMaker]

It's not unusual for dictatorships to have pointless elections. Making everyone take part in the political theater is a symbol of their power and control. The former Soviet Union used to have elections as well except they didn't even bother with the illusion of having more than one option.

Navalny only had 7% support in Russia. Nalvany's widow has been highly criticized by Navalny's mother. Nalvany's widow didn't visit him in prison for 2 years. Instead, she went traveling around the world on vacation. She didn't even go to Navalny's funeral! She put all assets in her name and didn't share anything with her children.
