Well, it certainly is if you’re planning to vote for Bernie (or Warren, or Biden, etc. etc.).
“Voting in Elections Embodiment of ‘Death to America’ Slogan: Iranian Cleric,” Tasnim News Agency, February 21, 2020:
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Taking part in the ongoing elections in Iran is a legal and religious obligation, Tehran’s provisional Friday Prayers leader Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said, noting that participation of people in polling will practically fulfill the motto of “death to America”.
Addressing a gathering of worshippers in Tehran on Friday, Ayatollah Khatami said taking part in the parliamentary elections and the midterm elections of the Assembly of Experts is a religious, national and revolutionary duty that will help the people exercise the right to decide their own fate.
He also stressed that a high voter turnout in Iran is so significant that the enemies of the Islamic Republic have been doing their utmost to dissuade people from voting, adding, “I call on people to practically fulfill (the motto) ‘death to America’ with their presence (in the election).”…

Westman says
Lucky Iranians, they are forced to choose among the Mullah-approved Tweedle Dees and Tweedle Dumbs.
Vote for the “Assembly of Experts” ? In what? Any assembly of Mullahs and Imams should be named the “Assembly of Incompetents”. The average Iranian would be earning 5 times more if there had been no 1979 revolution that became the “devolution”. Frankly, the Iranian people have been robbed by “religious” parasites.

That pretty much sums up “elections” in Iran, Westman.

As Iran’s Tasnin news agency reports about and from Tehran “Taking part in the ongoing elections in Iran is a legal and religious obligation, Tehran’s provisional Friday Prayers leader Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said, noting that participation of people in polling will practically fulfill the motto of “death to America”.
With that, above, statement thus made known ,a reality check is now in order which is that those elections in Iran are a farce. And a hoax. For that “mullah tyranny” of Iran is not at all a real republic but a cruel and oppressive tyrannical Islamic regime
Such vicious Mullah hate that they get the people brainwash and so worked up that they chant “Death to America is actually keeping with the actual legacy of Ayatollah Khomeini who was the Imam who was so powerful that he played large role in the establishment of the current Islamic tyranny of Iran which has the official title of “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” Khomeini had declared “ Jihad or Holy War ,which is for the conquest of [other ] countries and kingdoms , becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic State in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent on all males…to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world… those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.” [1]
Furthermore, About this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran which has the official title of “The Islamic Republic of Iran” and also about the chief and head Imam, Ayatollah Khomeini, who had a strong hand in establishing this so called “Republic “ The very actual essence of that Islamic tyranny ,Ayatollah Khomeini had made in known that “The Islamic Republic of Iran would be Islamic and nothing but .He declared ‘What the nation wants is an Islamic Republic . Not just a Republic, not a democratic Republic, not a democratic Islamic Republic. Do not use the word “democratic” to describe it. That is the Western style. ‘” [2]
In addition, that cruel and tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran regime has severely limited to an extreme much knowledge and wisdom from the outside world . This is because that fiendish and murderous ayatollahs and mullahs in power in Iran are very much afraid the Iranian people might discover different ideas . As the idea’s and philosophy of John Locke
For example, Locke views the people living under any genuine government are people retaining their individual rights after a government has been established. In other words, the securing of their rights – the protection of the life, liberty and property of all – is the sole legitimate purpose of government. I If a government begins to abuse those rights it then becomes tyrannical and the governed [the people] retain the right to overthrow that government and replace it with one that does its job properly.
So that heinous ”mullah regime” of Iran , greatly fears such ideas and keeps the people under his hideous control of his tyranny in and the darkness of much limited information .

Iran: Ayatollah says voting in elections is embodiment of “Death to America” ethic
………………..
Those Muslims stumping for these show elections will have to have it out with Muslims who eschew even sham elections as un-Islamic.
OLD GUY says
What the hell would that clown know about ethics. Iranian leadership is about as crooked as you can get, basically it is a religious dictatorship that haste everyone who is not islamic or that disagrees with it barbaric rules of sharia law. I truly feel sorry for the people of Iran who not to many years ago lead a western lifestyle and are now under this state of rule.
Darrell Lynch says
I’ve read in the news that the coronavirus is hitting Iran hard. Perhaps it will do what the military would.
