real democracy is when all power is concentrated in one person who rules for 20+ years at a time and criticizing him is highly correlated with falling out of a window. There is absolutely no possible nuance.

I believe this is what's called whataboutism in liberal parlance

what is relevant is the difference exists, and is a trend that can easily be extrapolated into "blossoming democracy", especially in the minds of the russian people.

What is relevant is that you made a non sequitur here. However, the actual difference that exists is that Putin actually won elections and has popular support in Russia. Meanwhile, western puppet in Ukraine cancelled elections for obvious reasons. Try to put a bit more work into your trolling to make it less obvious.

Your unwillingness to understand does not a non sequitur make.

Nah, I understand that you're doing trolling here perfectly well, as does everybody reading this thread.

disagreeing with a bunch of delusional tankies is not the same thing as trolling, and I think somewhere deep down you know that.

That you've successfully driven away 99% of people who disagree with you does not make you any more correct.

All I know is that you're a clown making statements that are at odds with reality. I think deep down even you know that.
