    grafician, what's your take on the Romanian court's annulment of the result of the presidential election's first round?

    • Justice prevailed. The system finally worked as advertised. One thing to want some political change, other to fall for a putinist...
      ********
    • So democracy won. Nice.monospaced
    • The guy - "CG" - is basically a lunatic, people found out, now he is playing the "system against me" card. He will probably leave the country or get arrested.
      ********
    • Now we will reset and restart the entire process all over, but with A LOT MORE INFO about each candidate.
      ********
    • Centrist-right parties want to propose the current mayor of Bucharest as a fresh candidate, he would be a very good option too!
      ********
    • The Stock exchange jumped 5% on the day, a lot of congrats calls from EU countries and US, we dodged a bullet for now...
      ********
    • @mono Yes, totally. It was basically election interference "by a foreign state actor" several investigations opened today...
      ********
    • "We'll keep doing this until they get it right" stated a pentagon official who chose to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak on the matter //monNom
    • @monNom Yep, people def want real political change, but a pro EU, Pro Nato candidate, not lunatics!
      ********
    • He will prolly come back with more support and power. That's how it works nowadays. Erdogan was once jailed he used the card just like Trump.Beeswax
    • Erdogan is actually smart. This guy is an actual lunatic, with a "messiah complex"
      You should see his videos and "speeches", crazy stuff
      ********
    • Before elections, he had something like 3% support, he got thrown out from AUR the far-right party, and in last 2 weeks bf election he was pushed on tiktok...
      ********
    • by a close "foreign state actor" and ppl on tiktok voted for him, he got 2M votes, everybody was like "who tf is this?!"
      ********
    • He has support from extremists, nobody normal in their right mind would vote with him
      ********
    • Anyway, crazy times, nobody expected this outcome, but Europe will take notes, Tiktok might get banned, change will happen
      ********
    • More https://www.rferl.or…
      ********
    • What's remarkable is that this essentially validates how exceptionally powerful social platforms are in influencing public perceptions, and election outcomes.monNom
    • @grafician - what do they mean when they call that guy a "legionaire"?monNom
    • this gives me hopezaq
    • I hope Georgia will also fix their situation.
      ********
    • @monNom it was X in the US, it's Fb and tiktok anywhere else
      ********
    • Ok so about the "legionaire" he supports actually these fuckers: https://en.wikipedia…

      Basically neo-nazis
      ********
    • Yikes. And 23% of the vote too. Huge support.monospaced
    • It was mostly fake support, a lot of people backtracked for second tour, posting they were sorry for voting badly lol
      ********
    • People that voted for him are pretty dumb, think MAGA people, but in Romania...
      I guess they are MRGA people, easily fooled by cheap words
      ********
    • So they’re fake because they’re dumb?monospaced
