A pro-Putin TikTok star topped Romania's presidential poll

I consider it the voter has been fooled if the candidate in question:

- is against the interest of the voters who chose them,

- is promising untenable promises through untenable means

- has been propelled by propaganda from geopolitical enemies.

- is likely to curtail democracy itself.

- is likely to plunge the country in chaos.

Do you feel that the people that voted for Hugo Chavez for example were fooled? Do you think that they consider themselves fooled? My answer is that yes, they were fooled, and the suffered for it, and it was totally avoidable.

long answer: people choose based on multiple factors & those factors are not always relevant to the function of being a president.

she can stumble into good decisions / he won't & he's very set in his ways.

as in all elections in post-communistic romania, the vote needs to go to the lesser evil.
