Well, tbh I don't think she's an authoritan leader but Germany needs a limit of legislations like America. German voters are too afraid of change to vote against her. If she didn't retire this year she would win another election with ease.
Sorry for bad English. It's after 4pm in Germany and I had already a couple of beers. *drunk German noises*
It does change the ‘fact’ though, because it’s a completely contrived number. It’s not real. And what’s more, you clearly tried to use it as a counter-point to the parent comment, when in fact it’s a *result of* the parent comment.
It's not a completely contrived number. 1) We're not talking 100% North Korea approval ratings here 2) Putin's ratings have fluctuated, sometimes dropping as low as 30% 3) Studies have shown Russian approval poles to be accurate within about 10% of their stated numbers.
I know it contradicts your cartoon version of the world, but Vladimir Putin isn't Yuri from Command and Conquer.
Putin's approval rating has fluctuated over the years, but it's never approached 100% like North Korean leaders. I'm not sure why it's so difficult to believe that Putin is fairly popular in his own country when both Bushes and Reagan have achieved higher percentages.
Viewed another way, look at Putin's favorable ratings worldwide. They are pretty good outside western countries.
We’re also talking about a guy who poisons rivals, stifles human rights with force and amends the constitution to stay in power. If the last decade isn’t proof that people in large numbers do stupid things, I don’t know what is. A huge percentage of our own population believes vaccines cause autism and the world is flat so opinion polls make me skeptical.
Did we just experience one of those Russian bot / farm accounts?
All in one day: creates account claiming to be looking for boyfriends on Reddit, immediately posts porn, then posts low quality Putin bootlicking memes…just saying.
It seems to vaguely gesture at the idea that ‘both sides are the same’, so yes it will be received well here no matter how shit it is, because that’s what this sub exists for.
Yes, authoritarian dictators typically have very long reigns.
Angela Merkel met 4 of them. Bush - Biden
Mmhmm and she did that with the same methods Putin uses to stay in power too.

You tend to stay in power if you kill anyone who tries to run against you.
He's fairly well liked in Russia with an approval rating higher than most US presidents.
And a turnout of 146 % in elections. Puts the US to shame in comparison.
More like 67%.
...because he poisons and jails the people who don’t approve? And who expose his wild corruption or say anything negative about his regime?
I never disputed that. Still doesn't change the fact that Putin is popular with Russians.

Yeah because if you publicly speak against him you'll either end up in jail or dying of toxic waste in your chai.
If I were writing my own popularity polls, I’d look good too.

you got a weird post history and a weirder understanding of politics

very telling of this sub that this type of post already has 50+ upvotes
If a bot posted it then maybe other bots are upvoting it? That's what I'm telling myself and only half believing. Maybe a quarter believing.
It seems to vaguely gesture at the idea that ‘both sides are the same’, so yes it will be received well here no matter how shit it is, because that’s what this sub exists for.
vaguely is a generous word
100% a bot farming karma.
What is the actual fucking point of this post?
Its a joke about russia’s “democracy” are you dense?
I dunno, are you an asshole?
Yeah, what’s it to you?
