  1. Its very hard to understand why so many people would vote for Erdogan, I hope they enjoy the continuation tenure 👏

    1. The fact that Americans want him to lose says alot. I don’t want a leader china wants in charge😂😂😂 That’s just me though

    2. Stability. The one thing that unite the opposition is their dislike of Erdogan, but after that there is not much they agree on among each other on policy issues.

    3. It’s also very hard to understand why so many people would vote for Trump, it’s just all around the world people with no political knowledge are also allowed to vote and that’s why people like Trump and Erdogan get much votes.

  2. As a member of society, let’s just take a minute to appreciate the devoted efforts and hard work of the bottle opener cleaners.

  3. I live in China 🇨🇳. Sorry for the Covid!!
    Can anyone tell me what *”voting”* means?

    1. It’s the opposite of what happens in China wrt choosing a nation’s leader. 😂

  4. While the opposition perform better then any elections since the 2000, they are unlikely to win the second round since voters of the third candidate who now are the kingmaker is closer to Erdogan’s base then the CHP.

    1. Yeah. I don’t like the CHP either. I mean I was driving near Sacramento, California and the CHP officer gave me a speeding ticket for going 140 kilometers per hour.

  5. গণতন্ত্রের জন্য লড়াই করার এটাই শেষ সুযোগ says:

    ❤Modern Turkey is the gift of western nations. So peoples of Turkey need to be more secular, more wide minded and more respectful for Democracy❤ My support for Mr. Kemal❤

  6. Erdogan needs to go into another line of work. Maybe he and Trump can get together and sell low mileage used cars.
    I’m thinking Nash Ramblers.

  7. Columbus city lane GRANT Mountain Alabama DAR (daughters the “ladies”) and their families as well

  8. The NFSC does not meddle in the bipartisan dispute in the US.
    Taking down the CCP is a bipartisan consensus, which is beneficial to the national security of the US and the American people.
    Immediately release
    Miles Guo, founder of NFSC and
    Whistleblower
    Movement!

  9. Fails to lead outright? The gap between the opposition and Erdoğan is 5% which is about 2m voters. If opposition leader compromises with the 3rd candidate’s terms, that means rooting out about 10% Kurdish votes of his side.
