That might be true. But the solution to that, is not ”move further to the left” or ”wait for the right to fuck up”. It’s then to help people not to be afraid, to educate them.
I very much hope you’re right, but I’ve seen this trend for over 20 years in Sweden now. With basically zero indication it’s turning.
Just getting worse.
Have I said anything else? My point was that there seem to be few indications of the people actually wanting leftist politics, and leftist leaders.
Do they though? Even leftist countries are drawing towards right wing extremists.
There are few places were leftist policies and leaders are doing well… and sure, they don’t exist in the US. But they do at many other places.
Anti-corp is not an issue where you either are, or you aren’t. It’s a scale. And people are voting for the party that is highest on the pro-corp scale in basically all of the world.
Makes it hard to believe that is such an important issue for people.
Doesn’t really seem like America really wants to cut ties with big corporations, seeing how people are voting. Nor identity politics for that matter, seems more important than ever among the right wing. Just that their identity politics is of a different kind.
I’m not saying I know wether it would be a good idea to actually do what you’re proposing. But I think people are way to quick to know the solution. Because it resonates with their own beliefs.
Yes. To allow a third term; if the president have not served two consecutive ones.
