    All the left seems able to do is call everyone else a fascist and tell them they’re all awful for not agreeing with their ideological purity obsessions.

    We need to actually appeal to people sometimes, actually talk about difficult subjects that affect people rather than just aay they’re horrible for not putting ideology above all else.

    A few positive ideas that actually make people think it’ll be better for them if the left is in power

      many parties are active in this, the party i am a member of are having a push towards “fight bosses not migrants” we do need unity of the working class and calling working class people fascists will only push them deeper into their corners.
      the other day i spoke to someone about politics, he complained of housing prices, stagnating wages then exclaimed “its socialism” bottom line: he isn’t a fascist but where he gets his information from is fascist.

      From the quick reading I did, others aren’t willing to work with the left and would just take down the government if they formed it. Not sure if the left is unwilling to work with center, I guess so.

        I got downvoted for suggesting the left try and talk about and improve areas people are concerned about, in think that kinda ahows why the left currently has problems getting others to want to work with them.

      We need to actually appeal to people sometimes, actually talk about difficult subjects that affect people

      One side wants to talk about housing, public pensions, public healthcare, public education, salaries, discrimination against women and minorities, and work/life balance.

      The other side wants to talk about immigrants being bad and evil, and about how trans people in films are turning their children gay
