Because all dictators are the same. Yekaterina Duntsova barred from running against Putin in election
Former TV journalist Yekaterina Duntsova was barred on Saturday from running against President Vladimir Putin in an election next March because of alleged mistakes in her application to register as a candidate.
So mistakes in her application. And her actual ability to win the election also disqualified her.
The immediate torpedoing of her campaign will be seized on by Putin’s critics as evidence that no one with genuine opposition views will be allowed to stand against him in the first presidential election since he launched the war in Ukraine. They see it as a fake process with only one possible outcome.
Odd. The least Democratic folks in America seem to be members of the Democratic Party. HMMMMMMMM
