      Opposition leaders and dissidents do not get regularly assassinated by the government in the US for starters.

      The US internally disappearing and/or killing anyone who speaks out against it.

      Yes they do. What do you think happened to Martin Luther King Jr, Malcom X or Fred Hampton? What do you think happened or all the budding leaders you never hear about. You have a child’s understanding of the world you live in.

      Because you have no historical or material context at all this needs to be explained to you. You live in a totalitarian fascist police state and are not informed of the death that occurs around you.

      Nice that you can throw around big words like non sequitur. You only can’t follow this because you have an American education.

        If that’s something that regularly happens in the US, do you have any examples from the last decade, instead of three examples from 55-60 years ago?

          It does regularly happen in the US and we are not informed. There is no mechanism for informing you or reporting on information from the interior of the US. There is a complete lockdown on information in your country. There are no more reputable journalists, no more reputable local news papers, no reputable national news organizations. 9/11 was your Reichstag fire and you don’t even realize. Literally last week a military defense contractor whistleblower was killed. They’re smart enough to kill these people early by police violence or pushing them into prison for made up non violent crimes before people are a problem.

          There are over 2 million people incarcerated in the US, the largest number of any country in the world by far and one of the highest rate of incarceration by far. Your missing leaders are in there.

          This is the actual non sequitur. Your original comment is this:

          The US needs ranked choice voting badly, but to say the only difference between the US and Russia is the two party system is just straight up incorrect. Opposition leaders and dissidents do not get regularly assassinated by the government in the US for starters.

          This is factually incorrect in regards to the US. Your government regularly does murder dissidents. Nowhere in this chain am I excusing Russia, I am explaining to you that the US and Russia are not different. You are both corrupt, capitalist, fascist military-industrial empires that must be destroyed and have no redeeming value. Your point here is a complete non sequitur.

          Totalitarianism is about thought control. The US has that so tight over its population you can’t even see the forest for the trees.

            k, you just give Putin a free pass then buddy because if one nation does terrible shit that magically makes it all ok for everyone else. Totally reasonable.
