Third Party Election Betrayal

Text on the meme

hmm today i will Vote for a Third Party. ЯБЛОКО vote ЯБЛОКО ЕДИНАЯ РОССИЯ НОВЫЕ ЛЮДИ ПАРТИЯ Democrat winner! Яблоко 90,000 79,999 1

What it means

A four-panel political comic shows a person in a Yabloko shirt claiming they will vote for a third party, then casting a ballot for Yabloko. The results chart absurdly shows United Russia winning with 90,000 votes, New People with 79,999, and Yabloko with only 1 vote, while the character remains smug. The joke mocks the perceived futility or naivety of voting for a minor opposition party and is used as a sarcastic reaction to elections and political disappointment.
