Meanwhile, incumbent Maia Sandu was closer to a second term in office, after partial results in the country’s presidential election gave her a small lead over her main rival.

Fuck. Putin won.
Not quite. The presidential election isn’t decided yet and this referendum wasn’t directly on joining the EU but on a constitutional amendment that would have required future governments to work towards joining the EU.
The referendum has also flipped, yes is in the lead
Check again! The diaspora has flipped the results! Yes is in the lead, narrowly!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Honestly, Moldova is too divided in this regard. Not to mention the Transnistria issue. If they were to join the EU in their current state, there’s a chance we’d just end up with another Hungary/Slovakia situation. They need much more time IMO.
At least the people of Moldova got to participate in democracy
Noted. This is your idea of democracy.

Also, I thought you believed I was an AI, so I’m not sure why you’re replying to me again. Seems a bit silly to keep replying to a robot.
Edit: Them calling me a robot-
Doesn’t look much less silly than American democracy where all the oligarchs just have PACs where they can influence elections with.
I can’t reply on the news comm because apparently saying someone is being pedantic is a rule 1 violation on 1984.world
“The US, known for its flawed democracy, has a flawed democracy; therefore all democracy is useless and we should just let genocidal dictators decide”
Have you ever been to Europe?
Your first claim:
Your second claim:
Therefore Americans also get to participate in democracy.
I’m not sure that’s where you wanted your own logic to go.
And, again, if I’m a robot, you’re pretty foolish to keep talking to me.
It can be a democracy and also silly. Are you trying to say American elections don’t allow for unlimited money to be spent on elections as “free speech”?
There was a famous court case where the supreme court said it was ok.
Nope, this is what I am saying:
And this is also what I’m saying:
It’s easy to see what I’m saying if you just read the words in between the spaces.
But then what do I know? I’m not the one who keeps arguing with what they think is a non-sentient machine.
You’re clearly not a bot, and if I said you were I would prob get banned for a rule 1 violation. I’ll be patiently waiting to see if any of the people who’ve been misgendering me catch a ban, but I won’t hold my breath.
America has a democracy, it’s not really great at representing people, but I get to fill out some paper every year. It also has unlimited money for oligarchs to influence elections. That money can come from pretty much anywhere. See the analogy?
Let’s take a look at what you said to me in the c/news modlog, shall we?
You sure seemed to think I was a bot then.
Also, this is rule 1 in this community, which is c/worldnews:
I recommend reading community rules before posting in a community next time in case you violate one.
You understand you completely agreed with that guy, right? Why are you acting like you have any outstanding disagreements?
We actually don’t agree. If you would read their comments in other threads, you would know that they do not consider Americans to be participating in a democracy which is why they said that about Moldova.
Also, @Diva is clearly a she, as she gives her pronouns in her username.
Everything just stayed the same plus one less headache to deal with in the EU. Not bad, really, considering all that’s been going on in the last 10 years.
