oooh the Silent Majorty stands with us!
yeah, sure
meanwhile, the actual majority is sleeping though this. Just like they sleep through every election cycle. If you could somehow ran on "oh, was that today? I had no idea" you would be the eternal incumbent
I think in a true democracy if the majority of people don't vote, the election needs to be run again with different candidates
Soviet elections had "against all" choice.
I remember textbooks in my formative years bringing that up as a bad thing to show how "fake" the elections were, not tolerating meaningful dissent away from pre-selected leaders.
Waow that's actually a cool option ngl
But the US told me that the Soviet Union was an evil anti-democracy where no one has a say!
Was this “post Soviet”? I can’t find anything about it being during the USSR
Did you mean to ask @Collatz_problem@hexbear.net that? Lol
Post-Soviet states inherited it, but as far as I know all of them removed this option since.
