So the Western imperialist “democracy promoters” claimed for years and years that magical, amazing “democracy” would break out in Syria as soon as “bad, bad” President Assad was gone. In reality, this is what happened… not a single Syrian voter was allowed to actually vote in these laughable “elections”!
Snip:
Syrian religious minorities and women will be underrepresented in Syria’s new parliament following an election that was tightly controlled by self-appointed Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and in which the Syrian public was not allowed to vote.
Preliminary results of the election published on Monday show that of the 119 new lawmakers, only six are women, while just 10 come from Syria’s Turkmen, Kurdish, Alawite, and Christian populations, Reuters reported.
One election observer speaking with the news agency described the new parliament as “overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim and male.”

Sharaa, the former Al-Qaeda and Islamic State in Iraq commander, will also appoint the final 70 lawmakers to complete the 210-member legislative body, ensuring Syrians have no voice in the outcome.
Free Syrian activist before the fall of Assad:
I’m a young (unveiled) free Syrian woman and I’d rather be ruled by conservative God-fearing Muslims than by the Assad genocidal militiasFree Syrian activist after the fall of Assad:
I am never tweeting about Syria againTweet not found!
I guess she deleted her Twitter account after getting repeatedly dunked on.
In what sense was it an election if nobody was allowed to vote?
My heart and mind tell me it was an election but the facts…
