      Don’t you know about the evil immigrants, ethnic minorities, and gay/lesbian-transgenders that are… checks notes just living their lives and not bothering anyone else.

      Yeah. The far right party just won a lot of seat from the progressive one in my country. That doesn’t feel good.

        Is this a serious question? People aren’t really angry at other people, they are scared and angry about the situation their world is in. There’s a few really bad apples, but most people are just scared they won’t be able to pay their rent 2 years from now.

          I meant in terms of racism, sexism, homophobia. Why people gotta hate and fear “others”. Just be chill with other people

      I wouldn’t say leaning right but making more people care less about voting?

      After all it’s easier to convince you all candidates suck than convince you to lean right?

      It’s because the left has failed to improve people’s lives and over the last decade has alienated much of the population with identity politics and virtue signalling.

      If you want the left to stop the right turn things are taking, you gotta drop the communism, the identity politics and the virtue signalling and ficus entirely on workers unions and environmentalism. Those are the past 2 areas where the left can not only hold full sway but has a lot of public support from those who are put off by the earlier mentioned things.

        I don’t like what you are saying but it’s actually correct. Abandon idealisms and embrace pragmatisms to combat the anti minority rhetoric

        And you believe that the right will change everything to the better? By doing what? Continue the same exact course but with a now clearly visible brown coat?.

        Why the communism?
