This is singlehandedly the biggest difference between right wingers and everybody else in modern day politics.
When centrists or left leaning parties lose a democratic election, they concede and try again a couple years later.
When right wingers lose, they scream election fraud and hope that it sticks without even understanding that the acceptance of an election is the single most important thing in democratic societies.
Actively destroying the populations trust in the results can not be in anyone's interest who wants to keep the democracy alive.
I love how well democracies are functioning all over the pla...
oh wait...
BREAKING: Netanyahu could lose tomorrow's election and remain prime minister anyway, with Trump backing a unity government that would keep him in power alongside Gadi Eisenkot, an outcome his camp is pushing vigorously and has a sympathetic ear in Trump, per WaPo.
In conversations with US officials, Netanyahu has argued that he is the best Israeli partner to help resume the war against Iran.
Trump allies say that even if Eisenkot refuses, Netanyahu will stay on as caretaker prime minister, restart the Iran war and seek to force another vote.
Hello End Wokeness 👋
This means that 4.57 million people more or about 2.13% of the countries population decided to go vote in the second round.
Hope this helps.
Right wing cope is really hilarious today, I gotta be honest. Take a load of this guy.
Wer so einen Parteivorsitzenden hat, braucht auch keine Feinde mehr.
Die Entscheidung von Audi ist vor allem auch eine Rechnung für die Managementfehler der deutschen und europäischen Politik. Aufgabe liberaler Politik ist es, diese politischen Fehler zu benennen und zu beheben. Um etwaige Managementfehler eines Autokonzerns haben sich dessen Aktionäre zu kümmern. WK

Audi darf und soll als Unternehmen tun, was gut für Audi ist. Unternehmerische Freiheit gilt auch bei Standortentscheidungen.
Wenn sich der Vorstandsvorsitzende aber als PR-Bühne für Donald Trump einspannen lässt, ist das keine Wirtschaftspolitik, sondern Propaganda. Und sie nützt weder Europas Sicherheit noch unserer Wirtschaft, denn beidem schadet Trump massiv, nicht zuletzt durch seine Anbiederung an Kriegsverbrecher wie Putin.
In den USA sollen 4.500 Stellen entstehen, der Aufsichtsrat muss noch zustimmen. In Deutschland fallen gleichzeitig 7.500 Stellen weg, bei 20 Prozent weniger Absatz. Das ist die Rechnung für Managementfehler, kein Zukunftskonzept.
Wer sich als Wirtschaftsliberaler versteht, nimmt Unternehmen ernst, auch in ihren Fehlern. Wegsehen ist keine liberale Haltung.
I think it's time to remind everybody that NATO does not pose a threat to Russia unless Russia actively decides to attack one of its member states. We cannot let that happen.
These countries joined on their own behalf because they were seeking safety and because they wanted to align themselves more with the democratic West.
Putin still believes that the former Soviet states are in his sphere of influence and would love to annex them, if he got the chance to.
🚨 Putin plans to use Ukraine peace talks to push NATO back to its 1997 military posture
According to The Telegraph, the Kremlin wants to force NATO to scale back its military presence in Europe to levels seen before Eastern European countries joined the Alliance.
This could mean demanding the withdrawal of NATO forces from Poland, the Baltic states, and Finland.
That is why Moscow is pushing for European countries to participate in negotiations over Ukraine. Diplomatic sources cited by The Telegraph say Putin wants to turn talks about ending the war into negotiations over the entire European security architecture.
The issue may also have been discussed during Putin's three-hour meeting with Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, in St. Petersburg.
However, European countries have previously rejected the Kremlin's demands to reduce NATO's military presence on its eastern flank.

Deixa eu ver se entendi a cabeça dos bolsonaristas:
1. Prefeito de capitais, bolsonaristas, assumem que descumpriram a legislação eleitoral e restringiram disponibilidade de transporte público, cada um com uma justificativa bisonha. “Nada de errado por aqui, as vezes eles esquecerem.”
2. Presidente do TSE mesmo ciente disso se abstém de tomar uma decisão. “Perfeito, nenhum problema, hoje é domingo né?”
3. Campanha do Flávio pede extensão de horário apenas nos locais que o beneficiaria. “Legal, é o justo mesmo, só choveu nessas cidades eu acho.”
4. Lula pede extensão da votação no país inteiro ao STF, INCLUSIVE nos locais onde perdeu de lavada pro adversário, por causa da falta de ônibus e porque o presidente do TSE não respondeu. “Ah naao, aí não pode. Ai é golpe!”
É com esse tipo de desonestidade que o brasileiro tem que lidar.

We couldn't help but bring back this legendary video.
🎉🎉 Serbia celebrates Vučić's defeat all night — now he's warning the country about sanctions against Russia
After 14 years of Aleksandar Vučić's political dominance, his bloc has lost the snap parliamentary elections. The opposition Student List, which emerged from mass anti-government protests, has claimed victory.
According to preliminary figures from Ipsos and CeSID, the students secured around 53% of the vote, while Vučić's coalition received approximately 39%.
The former president acknowledged defeat. He estimated that the winners could secure 135–140 seats in Serbia's 250-member parliament.
But he couldn't resist issuing a warning about Russia. Vučić claimed the new government could impose sanctions on Moscow as early as March or April.
Meanwhile, Belgrade and other Serbian cities celebrated the student movement's victory throughout the night, with car horns, singing, and crowds cheering in the streets.
Final election results are still pending.
