    What a coincidence, here in the US we banned all our anti-war candidates from the presidential election too! (Yes, I know dnc primary candidates aren’t literally and legally banned).

          The US hasn’t banned anri-war candidates like the Kremlin has, that’s ridiculous nonsense. Stop spreading propaganda.

            I see you only read one out of the two sentences I wrote above. I addressed this in the second sentence which was in parentheses because I predicted that my comment might be confusing to some. To be fair, my comment did assume some knowledge regarding the 2024 DNC primary which has been structured in such a way that no candidate but Biden, a pro-war candidate, could possibly win. Hope this helps.

            Your electorate college and two party vote system only allows two candidates each time

              That’s a completely different thing, you’re talking out your ass.
