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.

I wonder what it’s like to live in a country where one group tries to take the opposition off the ballot?

I wonder what it’s like to live in a country where a bunch of idiots can’t see what a traitorous bastard their favorite fat ass bumbling bitch of a candidate is.

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 10 months ago

Oh they know. They still wave the flag of another failed attempt to split the nation. They're all traitorous bastards.

What does the 14th amendment say? Why can’t Arnold be President? We have rules and laws.

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, Arnold isn't a natural born citizen. He probably wouldn't be bad, but the last actor to be president fucked the country so bad it should be an excluded class anyway.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Interestingly both Ronny and Arnold were governors of the same state.

Arnold got term limited but its questionable if he could have won a third term even if he could run since his approval rating was in the shitter by the time he left office.

I wonder what it's like to support a candidate who disqualifies himself by violating the Constitution he once swore to uphold?

The orange insurrectionist fucked around. Let him find out.

Tell me you failed civics class without telling me you failed civics class.

Hey, we could be like Russia in other ways and let a criminal run for president repeatedly.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

That option seems to lurking just around the corner. Next year sure is going to be interesting 😢

[-] RavenFellBlade@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Awwww, it's trying to form coherent thoughts! Keep trying, little buddy! Some day you might find two neurons to rub together!
