>You seem to be suggesting that instead of elections, people can decide who their leader is by having a civil war instead.

That's not my position at all. You cut context.

>I don't think it is chauvinism to prefer a system where fewer people have to die to effect political change over one where inevitably many more people die.

You and I agree here.

Would you say Russia has free and fair elections? Their election only months ago did provide a supermajority of seats.

If yes, would you agree than the average Russian supports Putin and the war?
