Russia bans anti-war candidate from challenging Putin

Independent politician Yekaterina Duntsova wanted to run on a platform to end the war with Ukraine.

But the electoral commission voted unanimously to reject her candidacy three days after her application, citing 100 “mistakes” on her form.

Ms Duntsova said she would appeal the decision at the Supreme Court.

The commission said 29 people have so far filed to run for the presidency. But after today’s decision, Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.

Another glorious day in Russia, home to the one person filling out application forms perfectly.

Just like Biden who also fights Trump who’s also an anti-war cantidate.

He literally started a cold civil war in the US

100% of politically motivated killings last year were from the right (aka domestic terrorism)

Go ahead and try some shit in 2024, The national guard will turn you traitors into soup in the streets.

“Not like that!”

What a terrible and dangerous man the Putin is. He really wants Russia to win the war. The Putin wants Russia to become stronger and better for the russians. Man, can you imagine this? What a strange president.

oatscoop ,

Weird how he’s done the exact opposite of that for the past 20 years

TIMMAY ,

wow i am just utterly shocked

kaibae ,

Ah yes, “elections” in Russia for “president.” Coming soon to the US if Republicans get their way.

There generally aren’t happy endings for Russian leaders. So there’s that.

Meh I’m glad I’m not Russian but hey man, people be crazy over there

Maybe she forgot the semicolon. Jokes aside I hope her appeal gets approved.

Ha. ha. ha.

No, I was totally after voiting for her, and was in a pool of her initial signings. But having that toothless candidate who’s just for the peaceful sky and everything being nice, and progressive, just declined,

a candidate that could’ve been collected like 5% on votes in march,

it shows, how fragile and scared these apparatchiks, or rather chekists are.

They want none even questioning war. They fear Tikhanovskaya 2.0, everyone cooperating against the regime under one, any banner, their campaign as a general protest. Just as a possibility.

I don’t feel like her campaign could do that much, or even a fraction of what fearless, furious belarusian bastards did in 2020 before russian corps got involved

(and you need to fucking note it, and pay for the first round for them if you meet any),

but even that little is scary to them. And it speaks volumes more than any queries into public opinion done in decaying police state with a raging propaganda.

I don’t want to be too positive about that and say tis’ are bad news, but also a slight promise of good news, or something. At many points before like in 2011 I hoped that’s the time the straw would break a donkey’s back, and they just kept on going.

But she’s no Navalny, no Nemtsov, just a nobody, and they shut her off. And it means something.

skeezix ,

Do not worry comrade. If uncle putin dont like her then she probably stand too close to window.

andrew_bidlaw ,
@andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works avatar

I wonder if he even knows about her. Guy’s like stuck in the ninghties, and everything he gets is in printed papers. There’s a doubt someone even said to him she exists.

And defenestration is too far in her roadmap, still. She didn’t even said any ugly words like ‘war’, or even ‘lustration’. Duntsova has much to do to claim her out-of-the-window voyage. And, still, got denied.

Pratai ,

What a fucking coward.

Why would tankies defend this, Russia isn’t communist.

Neither are tankies.

Shocked! Shocked I say!

corrupts_absolutely ,

they wouldnt let a swarm of mosquitoes run, in fear of losing the popular vote

cvozbosher ,

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Current polling has major regions in russia polling 113% of the popular vote to putin. Do your research.

corrupts_absolutely ,

you wouldnt believe how staunchly those kind of polls are quoted to prove the popular support of the regime in online(and offline) discussions here and beyond the border

sukhmel ,

What’s worse is that people believe in those numbers, although hopefully not all do

Rapidcreek ,

Typical. Next he’ll float the hope that he’s ready to negotiate.

athos77 ,

Anyone notice how the news of Navalny disappearing just ... disappeared as well?

Rapidcreek ,

Oh there’s still some stuff around. Seems like the Russian courts have cleared their schedules of all things Navalny. But, there isn’t a lot. Gone Baby Gone.

GiuseppeAndTheYeti ,

Not that I want that to drop out of the media circuit but there’s only so much to report on. How many different ways can you say a politician disappeared? Especially when the guy responsible is a dictator that simply won’t answer any questions regarding the person at hand.

tired_n_bored ,

Cross the political candidate you wish to vote for: Putin [ ] Putin [ ]

creamed_eels ,

I prefer that upstart young firebrand, Mr. Nitup!

maccentric ,

Fucking Nitup!

TheEighthDoctor ,

I want to vote for Putin [ ]

I have no opinion [ ]
