It surprises me people have not thought of this. Basic warfare and why we don't salute officers in the field when under fire. Smart weapons are good to a few feet and drones to around 30 ft.
Fickin silly buggers! Bullets and missiles wizzing into the country on a daily basis and they expect them to hold free and fair elections! Not to mention there is a part of Ukraine under the jackboot of Russia, how do they participate?!!!! Completely nuts but typical of the current administration.
All Congress needs to do to prove Trump is not a dictator is to do their jobs and impeach+convict him for his crimes. I mean, it is SOOOO simple. It's written right there, in the Constitution. That's not going to happen, and we ALL know why.
David sucks ,when Putin holds a free and fair election with out murdering or locking up his political rivals then maybe we could start to take him seriously . Winston Churchill cancelled elections during the Second World War . I can imagine Hitler saying the same thing that Putin and trump said .
Because Ukraine's Constitution, a document which people of countries all over the world who possess them respect, specifically prohibits elections during wartime.
I mean, Putin will just rig the election like he did for America’s last three. If voters don’t show up in the numbers that Americans did against traitor trump in 2020, there’s no chance.
Zelenskyy is more of a leader than Chump would ever be. He is committed to his country not to himself. To use this type of rhetoric is just parroting Chump, no ideas, thoughts or opinions of their own. Pathetic!!
Hey idiot elected Dems, have you learned nothing from history? The party that shuts down the gov over the budget LOSES THE MIDTERMS! Work with the Repubs to get whatever you can. Also, flapping your lips gets you nothing, the reason Trump is so popular right now is he is physically doing things.
Sorry Davy Boy. Appreciate the effort, but you're not going to be "Kremlin Employee of the Month" for this month, next month, or any month for the foreseeable future....... cause this douche has a lock on it. 👇👇👇
Musk will rig the election & install who Putin wants just like he did here in the US. He hacked into & stole the United States Goverment not hard 2 imagine he did the same with our election 2 keep his a$$ out of prison. Exactly why he fired the AGs investigating him.
How about the US not tell any other nation how to conduct their internal politics. Especially since we have an insurrectionist felon in charge of ours.
Zelensky is already the elected president. He doesn’t need an election. He just needs to tell trump to fuck off and get out of Ukraine’s business since he doesn’t want to help Ukraine.
The constitution of Ukraine states that no election will be held during an occupation. They say up to 20% of those allowed to vote would be Russian not to mention that Russia would pile on the election interference. Zelensky says as president he is the manager of Ukraine. I like that.
The Ukrainian constitution doesn't allow for elections during wartime. He's have to violate the Constitution. Since Republicans do that several times a day, I'm sure it's no big deal to them.
The laws of Ukraine, written BEFORE Zelensky became president, state that no elections will be held during a war. They are aware that the enemy would take advantage of murdering ANY civilian who went to a voting location, and we know, with plenty of Russian sympathizers, they would rat them out.
Why are South African born David Sacks and Elon Musk so invested in Ukraines election or lack there of? They are under Marshall law bc they are actively being bombed! They can’t have an election!
Zelenski doesnt have to prove anything to that dumbass fake pres. We have all watched as Russia has messed with our elections, they mess with every election! Russia needs us, we do not need nor want them!
Drumpf and his hero are both going to end up on the skids! I feel that orange dictator want-a-be will be dead from old age soon, he is so weak. I watched as my man go sick and died and don the con isnt doing well!
Adding to that. The only time the US soil was under attack was in Pearl Harbour during WWII. So, it is easy to say "organise an election or you are a dictator". The sheer destruction of the country, plus the missiles arriving daily simply do not make it possible.
Trump made it happen here in Canada. The sentiment that "Canada is broken" was popular before trump's threats, now that message is barely a whisper in a crowd of boos
If anyone cared to understand Ukraine’s Constitution. It explicitly states (as many similar nations with threat of Russia), elections be postponed during war time/invasion. Obvious reasons. Question is why would a foreign election denying insurrection President demand “elections” as terms of peace?
I get what you are saying. They need to get out of Ukraine. Enough already. But honestly, they don’t even understand the US Constitution let alone another nations.
Hey sacks you worry about your dictator and Ukraine will support their elected president and its against the law in Ukraine to have a vote while being invaded by Russia . So you should be saying Russia get the fck out of Ukraine.
Trump said he himself would be a dictator on day one, because to Trump being a dictator is a good thing. Trump would be writing love letters to Zelenskyy if Zelenskyy was a dictator.
It's not going to happen because sovereign nations don't take orders from lunatic man-baby Nazi psychopaths who are also allied with the war criminals invading their country.
He wouldn't bomb anyone. He would welcome the election. But Putin would pull all the strings to falsify and steal the votes, put a man in power that supports him and then annex the entire Ukrainian country "peacefully". He has done it before, he's doing it in his own country all the time.
And if there is an election with Elons "help" surprise suprise a Russian supporting politician will "WIN" and Elon will get those minerals! Good bye democracy, Ukraine, Europe then America!

Ukraine like every country other than the US has rules. They don't have elections when there is a war. Tell Putin to withdraw, stop the war. I'm sure Zelensky will be happy for his citizens have an election.
The Brit government led by Churchill postponed parliamentary elections during WWII recognizing the impracticality during wartime conditions, to avoid the distraction & divisiveness of elections to maintain national resilience and focus on the war.
Trump going to call Churchill a dictator?
I thought I heard that martial law while they were in an active war was part of their constitution. So they were actually acting constitutionally. Not having election during martial law makes sense and it would actually be stupid to destabilize the country during more time.
I wish that sack of sh*t 💩 David Sacks would go back to South Africa with Elon Musk & Peter Thiel. These 3 ignorant foreign oligarchs are destroying the USA
Imagine the irony... a Conservative wanting a foreign nation to allow voters to decide their leader. But in America, the same Conservatives shut down polling stations, fight against mail-in voting, make it illegal to give out water to voters, and anything else they can to hamper free elections.
So confused David…. Why did Zelinaki need to prove anything to you? It’s their country… if the people want an election then the people should have one… rich Nazi sympathizer and everyone else should STFU and sit down…
Russia holds elections every time their leaders' term of office ends. That doesn't change the fact that you take your life in your hands to vote for anyone not currently in power.
I don't understand why MAGA is so interested in other countries' democracies. Just because you broke your own doesn't mean you can mess with other kids' toys.
Zalenskyy is following Ukraine law. All parties in their government agreed to hold elections after the war is over. Perhaps Putin should hold a fair election.
He's being accused by a war criminal that hasn't had an honest election in his country ever and the stooge he helped get in office. Not a leg to stand on.
The British had marshal law during the second world war, too. They were not invaded. It would take a pretty ballsy Trump to accuse Churchill of being a dictator.
Imagine telling a worn torn country to risk life and limb to go out and vote just to prove a walking gas bag, aka Trump, wrong. These people are pure evil.
To prove he's not a dictator, all putin needs to do is not kill anyone who runs against him. How long has he been "president?" How many terms was he "allowed" to serve?
It’s literally in ukraines constitution that they don’t have elections during wartime and Marshall law. His literal opposition in Ukraine does not want elections now.
I support Ukraine.
I support Ukraine.
I support Ukraine.
I support Ukraine.
ALL OF UKRAINE.
ALL OF UKRAINE.
ALL OF UKRAINE.
Peace without giving in.
Peace without giving up. Peace for Ukraine!
Every accusation is a confession.
Trump will use the excuse of a war he will start to suspend the 2028 election.
He will compare himself to FDR to do it.
there can't be no elections while Martial law is in Place.
Also this is what the 🍊felon has in mind for the US to stay in power past his term he will declared Martial Law, we won't have elections. Remember he said if you vote for me you won't have to do it again !

Fuck David Sacks.
David Sacks on Twitter when losing money (3/10/23): Where is Powell? Where is Yellen? Stop this crisis NOW. Announce that all depositors will be safe.
Should put a bullet in it.
So like a Russian election
We all know Putin was Democratically elected right. Not a Dictator right?
🤣🤣🤣🤪🙄
The autocrats can go circle jerk themselves with MBS in Saudi Arabia
His approval rating is 57%.
Zelenskyy world view is - We All wish he was ours.
This is Muskrats wet dream!

That is the reason why Putin doesn't call for elections at this time.
Sure, hold an election during a bombing and information campaign.
Really?
Trump appointed him 'AI & Crypto Czar'.
Trump going to call Churchill a dictator?
Also, Zelensky isn’t a dictator. He’s a leader. Something Trump will never be.
These people…
Enough with blackout days before everyday becomes a blackout day for democracy.

Zelensky has been fighting for democracy.
Trump is trying to destroy democracy.

A) No foreigner to Ukraine has a say in their process.
B) This is ENTIRELY a bait to distract Z from the war,
with yet another foreign election for Russia to try to rig.
C) Considering the NeoSoviets' success making Trump the USA's 3rd in line, behind Putin & Musk? 😬
just another billionaire oligarch sucking up to a murderous despot.
they make me ill.
time for a tidal wave to wash away these billionaires.
