I couldn't get 88% of people to agree on which day of the week it was, much less who should be president.
Lol, I think that nobody outside of Russia has any belief that this was a free and fair election. I mean, even if you don't count that Putin imprisoned his political ally and killed him.
If he was so unpopular, then why did Putin try to assassinate him, then imprison him on fabricated charges with no intent to ever release him? Why couldn't he just defeat him in a fair election and then ignore him?
Lol, okay. Wikipedia and Reuters are not US government owned or even US-based media sources, and the wiki article is well cited by sources all over the globe. The US state department posts are just there as a tl;dr to be honest. But sure, any source that doesn't align with your personal narrative must be biased propaganda. I note you didn't actually address the point.
Are you saying Putin didn't kill him just because he didn't fall out of a window? /s
