But to answer your question. Voters vote for themselves... So I miss your point completely.
Anyone who thinks Putin is more of a concern than Xi needs a lesson in scope and size. It’s so obvious that I think for some leftists it is an intentional deflection to focus on Russia. The hard left actually admires Xi. They love totalitarianism and socialism, but throw the word democratic in front to hide their true intentions. They dream of the day when they can be a permanent ruling class of “elites”.
