People who are president for life are called dictators.
You are part of why people don't like .ml
Good thing China doesn't have a president for life then, you orientalist fuck.
So when does he leave office?
His current term ends in 2028
Unless he's elected again, yes
Well this is just false. Are you deliberately lying or just talking with confidence on something you know nothing about?
When he resigns, loses an election, or dies, obviously.
I know it’s hard for people who live in capitalist bourgeois democracies to imagine that a president could sustain popularity over a long period of time. They’re used to getting fucked over, election cycle after election cycle, because their governments don’t work for the majority, they work for the capitalist class. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
When he* dies, obviously.
FTFY since he will never resign and never allow someone to dethrone him.
When people have total control for life that's called a dictatorship
All you’re doing is repeating your assertion without adding anything, and the assertion you’re repeating is the the one you received from a lifetime of Western capitalist Cold War propaganda, and I don’t think it’s ever occurred to you to question it.
Nobody in this thread can explain to me how somebody who has complete control for life is not a dictator.
And no, him manipulating elections and suppressing opposition doesn't count as the people making a choice.
Yes i understand the US has flawed elections, we all need to do better.
That’s because, by baselessly & repeatedly claiming that Xi dictator for life, you are begging the question. Despite the evidence I presented that:
.
Yeah, because Xi isn't that.
Xi keeps getting elected because people keep liking the results.
.
Speak for yourself, and you know where the exit is.
Does Putin keep getting elected because the Russian people keep liking the results?
Desperately changing the topic there.
Least bad faith jingoist.
Putin gets elected in roughly the same way that US presidents do. [Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
Putin actually is popular. Russians have good reason to like him: he kicked the Western capitalist neoliberal shock therapy plunderers out of the country. It’s still a capitalist shithole, but at least it’s their shithole and not a neocolonized state anymore.
