“At least Russia has elections”
Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999.
If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

I hate when people do this. Yeah, if Pence were wagging a finger at Biden I might roll my eyes. But it's useful to have Trump's former VP standing up to Trump & for the truth. Why on earth would you want to slap him down for it? What purpose does it serve, other than making you feel smug?
I dont think the guy who stood by and enabled all of Trump's lie the first time around gets to lecture anyone about truth.
