Some folks apparently really have a vendetta against Brian Berletic, i can't explain the downvotes any other way considering that this short piece says nothing particularly provocative or new other than pointing out that NED(CIA front) funded polling showed Putin at around 86% just before the election and lo and behold that's pretty much what he got.
Not sure why, but for some reason some people here and on hexbear seem to have fully bought into the narrative that Putin fakes the Russian election. It's quite strange to see. We don't have to like Putin, but that doesn't mean he isn't popular and his support isn't legitimate. I too would like the Communist Party to be the most popular one, but just because my preferred outcome didn't happen doesn't mean the election is fake. I guess I try to avoid western media when it comes to this sort of thing, but western media has just been so complete and total with their "ELECTION IS FAKE!" screaming that even otherwise reasonable friends of mine just assumed it was true, because of how "matter of fact" every single western news outlet has been saying it.
Is there any difference between this and how all the chuds were denying the result of the 2020 US election? In both cases it was just asserted without evidence that the claimed result was a lie because they felt it couldn't be true. Same for Russiagate and 2016. The same pattern repeats:
"Me and most people i know hate this person, therefore it is impossible that they legitimately won the election."
When asked to produce evidence of actual fraud: crickets. When confronted with how the other side feels: deny, dismiss and demonize. It's an emotional kneejerk reaction.
