Erdogan's political fate may be determined by Turkey's Kurds

lolol what's gonna happen now lol the HDP not having a candidate is like a game changer dude they gotta be careful tho because erdogan will def try to discredit them but if they play their cards right they might just take down erdogan's rival kemal kilicdaroglu and become the key to erdogan's fate imagine it though the kurdish community is like totally tired of being persecuted by erdogan so this could be a major win for them

this is gonna be good... i mean, Erdogan's in trouble and the HDP is playing both sides against the middle... it's like they're trying to take down Erdogan without losing their own credibility ... kilicdaroglu is prob just a pawn in the game, and the hdp's decision not to field a candidate is more about self-preservation than actual ideology ... and let's be real, erdogan will find a way to spin this to his advantage, maybe even use it as an excuse to crack down on the opposition even harder

Man, I'm seeing some interesting dynamics at play here . The HDP's decision not to field a candidate for president can be seen as a clever move to not polarize the electorate and create space for other opposition candidates. It's all about strategy, you know? By allowing their supporters to vote for Erdogan's main rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, they're essentially giving themselves an indirect shot at influencing the outcome of the election.

It's like when you're trying to get something done with a group of people - sometimes it's better to work together and have a common goal rather than trying to go against each other. The HDP is playing a long game here, trying to build alliances and create space for themselves without directly challenging Erdogan's rule.

But at the same time, this move also highlights the precarious position of the HDP - they're walking a tightrope between being seen as too closely aligned with Kilicdaroglu and being seen as not doing enough. It's a delicate balance to maintain, especially when you're facing criticism from all sides .

The key takeaway here is that politics is all about nuance and strategy. You can't just charge in blindly - you need to think carefully about the consequences of your actions and try to create space for yourself while still working towards your goals .

You know imo, the HDP's decision not to field a candidate is kinda clever . By not being a part of the presidential race, they're not putting themselves in harm's way, but also showing that they're willing to work with others to create change . It's like, let's put aside our differences and focus on getting Erdogan outta office . And hey, it's always good to have Kemal Kilicdaroglu as an option - he seems like a pretty cool cat . But we gotta keep in mind that the government's gonna try to discredit him too, so fingers crossed for the HDP !

OMG I'm still trying to figure out this whole US presidential thing , you know how they have these debates and stuff? And in Turkey, they're like "oh we won't run our own candidate, but we'll support someone else" , it sounds kinda weird. Like if I was running for class president and my friend was the top contender... I wonder if anyone's gonna actually care about this Kurdish party?
