If you actually proposed doing what the French did, like voting for a leftist party, you would be accused of being a Russian bot for undermining the Democrats.
It's almost like you can't compare us with other democracies because ours is fake!
We have an extremely unequal & restrained "democracy". It's not at all what the flowery words on parchment claim it is. We made great strides but the racists are now having a massive tantrum. Can't really make a comparison btwn parliamentary system & our ridiculous 2 party nonsense.
DO NOT incorrectly assume that this is a pattern of reversing nationalism.
The UK Labor party has won a majority; but also after a 4+ yr campaign of purging actual socialists.
The French Right has fallen short of a majority; but France has one of the most vocal ACTUAL left wing populace in Europe.
They're constitutionally incapable of understanding that getting Biden isn't "Getting what I want" or that "schoolbus theory" or whatever "Which bus is going closest to where you want to be?" when the bus comparison would be a bus from London to Oxford when you'd like to go to Portland, OR.
To be clear, I do intend to vote Biden, I see no harm in it (vs. not voting, to be clear), and I do see a LOT of harm in a potential Trump victory. But I'm so fucking exhausted with shitlibs who think him being the only fucking choice is a victory for democracy even if he wins.
And note his jumping to a conclusion before a sober analysis.
The right didn't overwhelm but the left is stronger. More left policy, perhaps?
Prof: this was an election, not an election
Weren't people also literally mobilized in the streets, ready and willing to try, let's say a different approach, if electoralism alone didn't stop the far right? No lessons to be taken from that part though, only the voting part
