The authorities say Mr Navalny felt unwell following a walk and lost consciousness at the "Polar Wolf" penal colony inside the Arctic Circle - but while the cause of death remains unknown, Western leaders have made clear they hold the Kremlin ultimately responsible.
You are right, and I apologize again. Once again through I will say, while it came from an (admittedly self centered) American point of view, there’s plenty of other places that it could have just as easily come from.
US elections are mostly by state not by county. You can see states that voted blue despite being majority red on the county level. And Alaska is the opposite example where county level seems more blue but the state is red. It’s a misleading map because it doesn’t represent population density. Most of red counties are low population areas.
The state distribution however is kinda BS, but the real reason republicans can have power with a clear minority is because of the FPTP voting that prefers a two party system instead of a multiparty system. GOP would be far more fringe party if more alternatives existed.
and half this country wants to see these kind of headlines coming from ours. 😢
“This country” This is world news thread, and even then is a UK news article. Americans and their damn elections …

This is World News. We’re not all from America.
You are right, apologies, I’m talking from the US perspective but we aren’t alone, same could be said from several…
Not half. Never forget that the insane, reactionary conservatives are a minority in this country. They’re just extremely loud.
They’re only a “minority” because a third of the country will happily sit on the sidelines while they try to kill the other third.
They are a minority by population but US elections are by county and state. This is the last presidential election:

Everyone thinks that because Biden won the last election everything is fine and they can go back to ignoring elections.
