Hm, personally, I'd say 80/20 split would be "overwhelming." Like, I never thought this would be controversial to say that 6% is not mindblowingly overwhelming. It's just a dumb word to use and shows the site's obvious left bias.

I would not call 56.6% vs 43.4% "overwhelming," but okay.

Benefiting the holocaust museum.

Again, having a different perspective than you doesn't mean I am arguing in bad faith or being disingenuous. If you're not trying to have a conversation or convince me, then you're just being vitriolic for no reason, so I'm the one who is a troll? Come on man.

It's just Ukraine btw.

That's kind of the case. The software in question apparently has "accountability partner", meant to keep each other honest.

I'm not familiar with Ukraine's constitution, but frankly I don't put much stock in the idea of an indelible constitution.

You'll usually have more luck convincing people of your perspective by not insulting them, btw.

Having a different perspective than you doesn't make me a troll. I never thought I'd be called a troll for saying maybe they should conduct an election.

Do we have a rough idea what percentage of Ukrainians are under Russian control right now?

No, I'm not. Could you please at least engage in the conversation if you're going to reply?

I'm just not sure why being the invaded party is the deciding factor here. Do the people not get a say in who leads their defense, only their offense?

Russia is trying to interfere with elections of countries it's not even at war with. Is Ukraine just never supposed to have an election again because Russia might interfere with it? Is it not up to Ukraine to ensure that their elections are free and fair? Like, I don't think that any precautions they would take against Russia interfering is gonna stop when the war stops.

It's not relevant for Ukraine specifically, it's relevant for anyone who would claim that free, fair, and regular elections are a cornerstone of democracy. Someone else said better than I could: shouldn't the people get a say in who is leading them in this war?

They are both (supposedly) elected officials of a (supposed) democratic state, and they are both at war. If Putin said he wasn't going to hold elections because it would be irresponsible to do so during a war, I don't think he'd get the same understanding answers. There's precedence for countries holding elections while at war, it's not like it's some infeasible thing. Just seems weird for everyone to be so quick to say that it's reasonable to suspend an election.

I'd be interested to see the comments if this were Putin.

This is unironically a gamer moment.

What the hell do you have against tourism?

What the fuck?

... No, actually, I don't.

Same as Superman

Isn't there a famous comic series where Kal-el dies and other step into the Superman name?
