    The people did choose, he polled the lowest of the presidential candidates in the last election. He wasn’t jailed because he ran against Putin, he was jailed for his extreme right wing rhetoric and actions. The US made him a martyr and liberals have fallen for supporting what they would oppose here in the US.

      Ah yes, the incredibly reliable Russian polling data for the totally fair and democratic Russian elections! Surely Putin’s government didn’t have any reason to directly manipulate or otherwise skew the data to make their least favorite opponent look bad. And certainly all of Navalny’s supporters felt safe and sound voting for him, without any fear of repercussions from their permanent ruling party.
