What percentage of the Ukrainian people voted for Zelensky, again?

The number you ask for is inconsequential. Supposedly a whole lot of people voted for creepy joe as well but that has zero to do with the fact that he will soon be proven to be one of the most corrupt men to ever hold the office. Also a man in which Zelensky could crush the pearls of with hard evidence of his years long corrupt activities in Ukraine.

Corruption is relative and subjective.
Votes are absolute and quantifiable.
When we say "this is a democracy" we are only referring to the latter, not the former.
Question the voters' decision if you want, if you think you're smarter than them, but that points to a dictatorship with no voting or with many people not being allowed to vote.  Do you think you would end up on top in such a system?  Why?
