Iranian Elections
Lucas Sanchez
Michael Edwards
Wonder if the US can spin these a illegitimate to further the warpath
Mason Sanders
Rouhani will win.
Unlikely.
James Howard
Is there a good candidate?
Connor Watson
Rouhani is moderate, Raisi is a far-right Islamist.
Rouhani is the lesser evil.
Joshua Gray
Basically not. Rouhani is the least insane Islamist though, if it makes you feel better.
David Young
is /leftypol actually taking this regime's bait?
Samuel Roberts
I realise that nothing is going to change regardless of who gets elected, and I don't support Rouhani in any way, I was just trying to answer his question without interjecting my personal opinion.
William Wright
Well excuse us for supporting the candidate that is less likely to invite a conflict with the US and Israel that will kill millions of Iranians.
That's what's at stake; the hardliners over here are just itching for a fight, and a guy in a black turban will likely be enough to provoke them.
It might come to blows in either case, but I still prefer the one with some less chance of millions of deaths attached.
Joshua Kelly
What happened to Ahmedinijad throwing his hat back into the ring?
Gabriel Cox
Pissed of the supreme leader and was disqualified IIRC.
Aaron Price
Well I certainly don't support him but I'm a little disappointed. He was at least the meme-iest option
Brayden Carter
Rouhani is NOT a moderate! He is just acting less far-right
by calling that murdering fuck a moderate you're changing the meaning of moderation
Isaiah Stewart
So a moderate?
Thomas Hughes
what happened to ahmadinejad?
Gabriel Brown
Daily reminder that Ebrahim Raici is the true #accelerationist candidate.
Jaxon Rodriguez
Read the fucking thread retard.
Leo Parker
hey, what happened to ahmadinejad, i thought he was running
Brody Ward
Maybe things were better with the Shah.
Julian Perez
As long as these so called left wingers "Eslahat" is alive, the opposition will be too divided to make a move
Luis Lewis
...
Austin Price
Islamism had always been part of the revolution, it was a major part of why the Shah was heavily disliked(among many, many other things)
And you don't have to defend Iran's regime just because they're anti-imperialistic and against America.
No.
James Cook
No
Luke Hill
Rouhani won. Fuck.
Easton Walker
well at least he as better then Raisa the conservative pig. But was a choice of lesser evils
Ryder Rodriguez
Iran needs state atheism and socialism. And quick.
