Comments by "TJ Marx" (@tjmarx) on "Turkey election: how could an Erdogan loss change the world?" video.
@S A She said words that don't actually mean any change for the west. You pay attention. Gus Garcia is correct. Nothing positive changes for the west. If Erdogan doesn't win, then Turkey is set for massive turmoil and instability as the 6 opposition parties backing Kilicdaroglu fight it out. The polls show them within a 5% margin of each other, and incumbents tend to win under those kinds of circumstances. All the local Turkish polls have Erdogan leading. Let's remember that if Erdogan win it's because the majority of Turks choose him. So what she's saying about people leaving en masse is nonsense. Some will continue to trickle out but that's the same in every country. Had a look at the emigration rates from the UK lately? When she says "a return to democracy" she's being intellectually dishonest. You don't have free, well monitored democratic elections in autocracies. She just doesn't like Erdogan personally, so her entire interview is her own personal biased opinions and should be thusly taken with a grain of salt. Ultimately CH4 are just desperately trying to make this a bigger story than it is because they could ultimately change the narrative. That's really what they're interested in. Turkey getting more under the EU thumb and being able to stop turkish arms sales to Russia, whilst they can use the change as a virtue signal. They're wetting themselves with excitement at that though.
