Did not cheat. 64 seats. Real. Lost. I say, if we lost, then let's help.

"I say release Bibi from the charges. Release it 100% and transfer responsibility to the court. Stop yelling at him and asking, 'How can I help you, brother?'"
The post received thousands of likes and sympathetic comments, mainly from right-wingers who identified with the remarks. One person who did not identify himself was the outspoken leftist, a bicycle-rival, who replied, "Maybe just shut up. After all, everything you write today will change tomorrow and vice versa. Too bad for the words. and populism. People are measured by a world of values, ideology. Not fashion."
