Why would I defend Putin?
I'm guessing those numbers are fairly typical for the ruling party in Italy where elections are typically fairly fragmented and chaotic.
So that result is likely just as legitimate as any previous result.
I'm also guessing the overwhelming majority of people that voted in this election aren't nazis.
- kennywinker 4y agoBy your “look at the numbers, 50%” logic, putin is probably good (77% of the vote), and italy could easily have elected a fascist (26% of the vote or 16% of the population). Turns out the “numbers” aren’t a very good indicator. I’d suggest we should look to what they say for signs of autocratic, kleptocratic, fascist, or nazi ideas.
- lazyeye 4y agoAs far as I'm aware, Italy has free and fair elections and Russia doesnt so apples, oranges etc As to whether she is a "fascist" (your word) I'II wait and see. I certainly wont pay any attention to the predictable left-wing, media-accelerated hyperbole.
