1. >citing intelligence documents that were declassified this week detailing allegations of Russian influence on social media

   So influencing the election via social media by outside powers is reason enough to restart the whole process. Okay, sure, it’s their call.

   If the pro-EU side wins this time, will the presence and interference of our quasi-NGO’s like NED who are training, organizing, and directing the pro-EU side count as enough influence to restart the process?

   Will Romania keep spinning in circles indefinitely since eveyone has a finger in the pie? Or can/will they stop once a certain, “preferable” outcome is reached?

2. It is ultimately a good thing that elections must follow the legal framework of a country and that such courts are making sure that said framework is respected.

   However, I do think that the biggest problem isn’t that Russia is meddling with so many European countries’ elections, but that pro-Russian ideas are actually popular in the first place. If the latter wasn’t true, the former wouldn’t matter as much.

   People act like through Tiktok, Romanians were brainwashed and forced to vote for that dude, or that Russia stuffed the ballot boxes. However the reality is that through Tiktok, many Romanians finally found a candidate they wanted to vote for.

3. the normalization of using social media as hammer when you loose by democracies around the world. Everyones right now especially on the left are cheering this becuase ifnlation made them loose around the world. But mind you when the pendelum swings and apps like reddit are banned once right wing governements take control . You will see the same arguments.

4. The world is so interesting right now. I think there’s a big shift happening the world over and we’re seeing battles playing out in places like Romania, Georgia, Ukraine, Syria and there will be more.

5. We only like democracy when it works in our favor.

   He marketed over TikTok and almost won. He already has legendary status.

   If he puts his name on the ballot when reelection happens, the same thing is going to happen because people now have zero trust in the proccess.

6. “And if he wins again, we will continue repeating the elections until you lot choose the right guy!”

   Whatever you think of this dude or his views, this is beyond ridiculous lmao. TikTok did not vote for him, people did.

7. Good for them and fuck the whataboutism, europe is great and putin is a tyrant.

   Russia should join E.U when putin is dealt with.

   Everyone’s been polite while he shifted the world closer to midnight.
   I really hope that the revolution will come from within, great thinkers has been replaced by mobsters and exploiters.

   Russia has so much to give to the world.

8. Good to know that democracy only extends as far you the ‘correct’ candidate wins.

   The fact that some people are looking at this and going ‘makes sense’ is insane.
