Because the man is a racist, imperialist, fash piece of shit. It's an unfortunate mentality when you figure there's only two options here. There are a million better outcomes possible. Forgive me for not rooting for Pinochet to replace Pol Pot.

Russian disinformation? Can you name a single policy that would have made Navalny a desirable outcome? You think he'd pull out of Ukraine?

More radical assholes than even Putin? I'm all about Putin's shit getting kicked in, but Navalny and folks like him are not a solution we should explore. I'm sick of people glorifying both of those assholes. Defending Navalny is like defending solving your wasp problem with rabid badgers. I don't want either in my home, and though the latter may solve the first, it's going to create some much bigger problems
