[VIDEO] Voting & Electoralism: Steelman Debates Steelman
This video is a debate between two fictional characters: One in favor of voting and electoralism, the other bitterly opposed.

In a respected dictatorship, such questions are not asked, because you know what can happen. And in general, it so happens that the reign of the great leader is timeless. But the situation has changed so radically over the last 8 months that Belarusians took to the streets and for the first time in the new history of Belarus they fought back the police in at least 33 different cities of the country.
