TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

[what]

Someone has to make a movie about this election campaign, hopefully with a happy end.

Ince should have never run in first place.

 

[what]

The new Konda poll has dropped.
Ince is gone.

 

[Bürküt]

Just astonished how this election campaign is downspiralling to a mudslinging fest. Aren't there more urgent matters on the agenda that the presidential candidates have to come up with a solution plan:

- How to rebuild the earthquake area after 50.000 deaths, hundreds of thousands ill-constructed homes crushed and people living in a disaster zone?
- How to stabilize the Lira and stopp the inflation with the rise of living costs for the common man?
- How to adopt a trustable fiscal policy for much needed foreign investments and revive the economy?
- How to reinstate democratic principles like an independent judiciary and a free press?
- How to peacefully solve the inner Kurdish conflict with the Turkish state?
- How to handle the uncontrolled influx of millions of Syrian migrants?
- How to bridge the widening strife and clear the poisoned atmosphere in the society?
- How to curb institutionalised corruption and nepotism?
- How to stopp the brain drain of the most talented and brightest?

Instead as an outsider I observe dirty politico tricks, demonizing opponents as traitors and terrorists, sectarian hatred on social media, a deeply polarized society without much respect or tolerance for different opinions.

Someone has to steer the Turkish Republic, this nation of 85 million people in a geopolitically volatile region, safely and with responsibility through the storms that are building up in the future.

In fact, the opposition alliance has good plans for these (especially İYİ party). But the elections in our country are not about promising the good.it's about scaring the voter with the worse.The harsh attitude of the Military Command, which was once a balance element in the country, in times of crisis has polarized this country.In this country, people who are firmly attached to their own sub-identity see themselves as the only victims in this country.And they think that if their own ideas do not come to power, they will be crushed by opposing parties.The truth is that every part of the country was oppressed and damaged for a while. Leftists, Nationalists, Kurds,Alevis, religious people this list goes on and on.However, no one sees the suffering of other groups and everyone is overly personalizing the sad events that happened in the past.This situation leads to the existence of parties such as AKP (current ruling party) and HDP (So-called Kurdish left, actually a supporter of terrorism) that have run to extremes in the country.

Just imagine is Kemal Dede wins this with 50,1% of the votes... Lol...

Nope, that tape was real; this one not only was fake, it was very obviously fake; a horrendous deep fake of a famous pornographic video; people discovered the source material on a famous website like a minute after it was posted on social media. Not one soul believed that it was real. He didn't drop out because of that tape; he dropped out because he knows most his voters are from the opposition and that kk is close to a first round victory and his 1-2% vote can only make him into a villain.

Yeah baykal one was real and FETÖ recorded it and handed it to erdogan. You know they were besties.

erdogan was the first one to watch it also

“Özel degil genel genel” he said after watching it

Two days before the elections Kurds turned into "Sevgili Kurt Kardeslerim..."

Canan Kaftancıoğlu on BBC:

"Anything can happen. For example, they can switch off the internet. Citizens may not hear our word. Don't worry, we will announce the most reliable result. We would like to announce the election result quickly, but that is not our main priority. Citizens should wait for us for the correct election result. Whatever the result of that ballot box is, we will definitely announce it. What kind of problems can there be? You know that they steal wherever they find the opportunity. We will prevent such things, we will prevent them, they will not be able to do it."

When is Tayyip Erdogan going to release his greatest hits.

This song is so catchy that im singing this at work.

Anadolu Agency and trust, that seems far-fetched.

Anadolu Agency is one of my trusted news sources.

Anadolu Agency, Ahaber, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson.

Are all trustworthy news. Whoever suggests otherwise is wrong.

 

[Rooxbar]

The results are not going to be close.

 

[TheInsider]

Unless something big happens KIlıçdaroğlu is close to winning. It seems like Kılıçdaroğlu gained a couple of percent in the last several days. Elections might still go to the second round. I feel like second round chance is slightly lower now i will give it a %50 chance.

 

[Deliorman]

A comfortable win for Kemal Dede with 55% of the votes... Bet on it.

The silent opposition voters who refuse to participate in the polls out of fear will at least another 3-4 percent for KK in the end, you will see.

 

[Afif]

@TheInsider What will happen if KK win the presidential election but AKP hold the majority in Parliament?

Presidential candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu

"Dear Russian Friends, You are behind the montages, conspiracies, Deep Fake contents, tapes that were revealed in this country yesterday. If you want our friendship to continue after 15 May, take your hand off the Turkish state. We are still in favour of cooperation and friendship."

Kılıçdaroğlu, Rusları uyardı: Kasetlerin arkasında siz varsınız — Diken

www.diken.com.tr

What does Kılıçdaroğlu aim by blaming Russia for a conspiracy whose source is obvious (US proxy FETÖ)?

Too many false flags can backfire.

 

[TheInsider]

@TheInsider What will happen if KK win the presidential election but AKP hold the majority in Parliament?

KK will still have a big say and will run the country with presidential decrees. I doubt AKP alone can win the majority alone. MHP might jump off the AKP wagon.

There is the Truth and the Truth.

Every media bias as fck and has their own agendas.

I chose them because they are honest in their propaganda and bias.

Plus Rush Limbaugh said this

In Australia, Alan Jones one of our most famous shock jocks caused a racial riot between White Australians and Lebanese people.

He said on the radio for all the Aussies to go rise up and bash some Lebanese.

News is the most powerful tool. Thats why everybody feels the need to control it.

If you cant control the narrative you basically lose.

MHP might jump off the AKP wagon.

This may draw a reaction, but when you look at it from an ideological perspective, it is the AKP that is the wagon, not the MHP. They were condemned to the slogan of one nation, one flag, from the point that nationalism is under the feet , we are 8437585939 nations etc... No matter how hard the AKP tries, it does not have an ideological basis. He has been thrown off the ship of the dialogueists and Atlanticists and cannot go back. If it does, it will lose half of its base to the MHP. The economy is already in ruins, the only thing left to cling to is the ideological pillars of the MHP. For some reason, the CHP followed a completely different strategy when it should have demolished this pillar. Even if KK takes over power and Akp collapses and disintegrates, this process will leverage the formation of a very large nationalist bloc in the coming period.

The problem is opposition needs a 3/5 parliamentary majority to revert back to the parliamentary system. The opposition needs 360 MPs (3/5 of the total chairs) so that a referendum can be held.
