It might as well be called putin's self-election, because the outcome is so obvious, and it has been that way for many years now. He will continue his lifelong, "fair and square" rule (((elected))) by the supposed voters through the (((democratic))) process, and allegedly remain the most popular president ever, even though he has taken away pensions from the old and sent the young to die in a pointless war. He preaches family values while divorcing his wife long ago, he talks peace while waging war, he calls himself the people's president and an old guard while making life harder for the elderly at every turn. Hell, this motherfucker would rather turn himself into a cyborg if he ever had health problems than relinquish power in any form.
