  • A populist won the election, yes, and that’s much more relevant than left or right.

    The solution is absolutely for the democrats to move left, but not because it’s left, because people want to hear things about how their lives are going to improve.

    Instead of blathering about an “opportunity economy” and more fuel for the war machine, they should be talking about higher wages, cheaper healthcare, cheaper housing, and cheaper eggs.

    People who want to vote for the right wing already have a party to vote for, they’re not going to switch. This strategy just alienates people whose lives suck.



  • Yeah, the demographics of voters are just made up, huh? They are the overwhelming supporters of the far right. Don’t wanna be painted like that? Don’t vote for fascists.

    I’m a cis white guy too, for the record, and I’m not saying it’s something inherent in skin colour or having a penis that makes someone an asshole. But it’s classic bully behaviour to tell people lower on the hierarchy “look what you made me do”. You want things to be less divided then you should start by accepting the simple facts.
