Did you even read your own fucking article? Oh, Russians can e-vote now, so the Russian establishment can just rejigger the votes from the comfort of their own homes, instead of bussing people around or truck pallets of ballots at 4 AM. Much legitimacy, very secure, wow.
I know you're a recovering leftist and you're programmed to perform Destiny-style source-gotchas, but do better.
So they care about turnout? Thank you, that was my point.
Please, compare me to whoever you want. Mao, Hitler, Stalin. But not Density.
You asked for a source. I thought you were doing a gotcha. But the fact that governments care about turnout and election results is something that's not really in dispute.
I accept your concession, despite your tangential, bad-faith gotcha about "legitimacy."
Insomuch as to create plausible deniability of the results. The votes themselves don't mean a damn; they can always change it to whatever they like. The fact that Russian citizens don't have the option to abstain and are forced to participate in a humiliation ritual doesn't change that.
To quote u/GamingTheSystem-01, which sparked this asinine "discussion":
They, the Russian citizens, won't do shit. That's what they'll do. Russian citizens won't vote their way out of this. Is that autistic enough detail enough for you?
Again, do better.
