    You know, USA’s system works like that unlike Russia’s. Want to know how? Democrats are setup as the anti Russia, systematic discrimination party, and Republicans are the anti China, openly racist party. Each election either party gets to blame the country they are designated to hate, and people keep believing they vote to bring a change.

    Navalny himself was corrupt for all the “democracy” cheering he got from Western nations that wanted. What Putin is doing right now is incredible against the monster hydra that is NATO, and Navalny probably would never have been as competent.

      How is what you describe for the US anything like my description of a single strong-man or party managing their opposition and staying in power for decades? No doubt the US system is also dysfunctional, but it is dysfunctional in a quite different way as you (partially correctly) describe yourself.

      Navalny is the typical controversial candidate being allowed to politically survive as he doesn’t really endangering the status quo of those in power. At least that was the case until the West started propping him up, upon which he became too dangerous as well and was disposed off.
