    It’s sad, yes. But, he doesn’t have nearly enough votes to win in the second round.

    yeah, don’t count on that. this is result of the first round of presidential elections in czechia in 2018.

    guy in the first place, milos zeman, is fucking pro-kremlin, pro-peking traitor, alcoholic and immoral asshole. he was going for his second term, so there was no doubt whatsoever about what he is and how he would act in the office.

    the five guys behind him were all center-right liberal democratic candidates. we also thought “just add their votes together, there is no way the fucking moron will win”.

    this is result of the second round:

    he got ~1,9 million votes in the first round and 2,8 in the second one. it is not as easy as just counting the votes for his opposition.

    we got another 5 years of the pro-kremlin traitor, who almost vomited into our crown jewels, after arriving there straight from ww2-end-celebration party at the russian embassy to prague :

      I’m not saying it’s impossible for him to win. Definitely not counting our chickens yet. But many people in Romania vote for familiar names, for the big parties. He’s an independent and most people have never heard of him. In your case, that was the incumbent. It’s a big difference.

      He somehow managed to get 2.1 million votes. That’s huge and a major surprise as everyone is saying. But it’s another thing to get 4-5 million votes. Yes, he’ll get more votes in the second round, but in order to win, he’ll need to more than double his votes. (He got 2.1 million out of almost 9.5 million votes) Which is unlikely. Not impossible, no. There’s still a chance that people will be dumb. But it’s unlikely.

        well, i hope that difference will be enough and wish you (all of us, really) good luck.
