I would love some examples here. The Soviets conducted elections. The Chinese conduct elections. The Koreans conduct elections. The Cubans conduct elections. The Vietnamese conduct elections.

Comrades in this election you may democratically vote for the one candidate from our party, as the opponent tragically fell out of a window.

And I pointedly disagree with this. When you say "I am a socialist but every other socialist government was bad" you are severely undercutting your own argument right out of the gate.

When you associate yourself with authoritarian hellholes you become an unhinged weirdo to 90% of the population.

It's not the 1960s anymore, we know what these countries are/were like and if you really want to simp for them then don't be surprised people think you hate democracy.

bourgeois election influence ie PACs, donations, mass media campaigns, etc.

you talk about bourgeois influence/propaganda, why you don't care abut goverment propaganda?
