- maximinus_thrax 2y agoAre you asking in good faith? Do you know what this candidate's platform is?
- 4ad 2y agoI know what his program and his political ideology are, although that is completely irrelevant to the question.
- maximinus_thrax 2y agoSo what you're defending is the idea that people knowingly voted for a russophile neofascist with full understanding of all implications?
- RealityVoid 2y agoI will try to answer honestly and in good faith, even though I do not feel the question was asked in good faith. I consider it the voter has been fooled if the candidate in question: - is against the interest of the voters who chose them, - is promising untenable promises through untenable means - has been propelled by propaganda from geopolitical enemies. - is likely to curtail democracy itself. - is likely to plunge the country in chaos. Do you feel that the people that voted for Hugo Chavez for example were fooled? Do you think that they consider themselves fooled? My answer is that yes, they were fooled, and the suffered for it, and it was totally avoidable.
- toombowoombo 2y agoshort answer: yes, if the reasons for not liking them are good enough. long answer: people choose based on multiple factors & those factors are not always relevant to the function of being a president. she can stumble into good decisions / he won't & he's very set in his ways. as in all elections in post-communistic romania, the vote needs to go to the lesser evil.
