    That wasn’t voting, you dipshit, they revolted and overthrew the government.

    If you think the defacto Russian-appointed ruler fleeing for his life is a normal election, then you have to be the biggest idiot I’ve met.

      it is way more complicated than that but it is not the place to argue about that. the gist of it is that the continuity of government remained intact. the president fled, the parliament remained and took over with the head of parliament being the acting president until proper elections, the ministers got reappointed and got back to work and after things settled the elections took place and they were internationally recognized as democratic.

          it is more complicated because this conversation leaves out a ton of historical context in favor of oversimplified definitions.
