We are cursed with a terrible opposition so they decided the opposition leader who is losing on the polls should be the nominee instead
Brutal. I am very worried to hear what the actual victim number is going to end up at. >

It will probably be around 50-60k. Almost 5000 buildings got destroyed. >

That is lowballing it >

Yes, I want the loss to be less than what I expect. 
Most of the destroyed buildings are 10-15 story buildings. Assuming there are 4 flats on each floor, you get 4 times the number that I say. >

People who haven't visited Europe and Asia don't know just how big and dense some of these areas are.
You think New York is large, sure 9 million is a lot of people.
Istanbul is what, 15 million? It's staggering to think about. >

That’s New York City proper, the New York City metro is 20 million plus. The US doesn’t have as many areas as densely populated as Europe and the Middle East but it does have some. >

That's valid, I am not too too familiar with how the areas are designated just some big numbers of how many live there.
TIL, thank you! >

People are freezing to death under the rubble. Those who were rescued by other citizens die on the streets due to the lack of medical personnel. Two cities are razed to the ground and our sultan still hasn't deployed the army to help us. >

Holy shit, he hasn't deployed any services?!? >

Services have been deployed afaik, the guy is complaining that the army specifically has not gotten involved yet. >

There was urgent need for the military to help with the rescue operations but it's too late now. Search and rescue teams are reporting corpses with no injuries at all, all dead from hypothermia. That bastard let people freeze to death and did nothing. He will pay. >

Narrator: He didn't pay and won the next election. >


election

"Election" >

No, just election. You underestimate how many people support him. Media and propaganda are powerful tools. >

Does İmamoğlu not stand a chance? I know Erdoğan is crooked as fuck, but I thought the opinion polls were quite favourable for İmamoğlu
