You are literally comparing someone who couldn’t complete eligibility paperwork, and who received 47k votes out of 2.5 million in the previous election (the Greens got five times as many votes) with someone who was poisoned, imprisoned, and murdered - you really are jumping the shark…

It was the paperwork that kept Navalny off the ballot. Who knows where the slippery slope in this country, or the USA, ends.
The circumstances around Navalny's death is open to speculation and if he was murdered it's equally plausible someone trying to destabilise Russian domestic politics chose to do so.
