@joesticker @Ukrainenews Where on earth did you get the belief that Russia doesn't have open elections??? Russia's electoral system certainly shares many of the same faults as the US (eg both are rigged to maintain the power of wealthy & influential incumbents and their supporters, & both use mechanisms to prevent the rise of independents who could disrupt a tightly controlled party system). But a lack of open elections is not a valid criticism. #russia #us
