    Biden and soon Harris are, to my understanding, the most progressive presidents we’ve had in the US. Why are they moving (slowly) left over time?

    And yes, those Nordics. To my understanding it’s not just social culture forming those coalitions, but an actual government system that allows for such coalition building. I would like the same or similar systems, sure.

    Fascism and racism are systemic, nobody is disagreeing with you about that?

    Anyway, that’s as much energy as I’m willing to spend on someone who does not converse in good faith. Stay safe out there.

      Ahh. The apocryphal ‘bad faith’. Last resort of failing argument. If in doubt, accuse your interlocutor of arguing in ‘bad faith’ and retreat to the comforting safety of your echo chamber.

      Would you like a reassuring copy of the New York Times to read? I’m sure they’ll have an article somewhere about how everything’s going to be be just fine so long as we tick the right box at election time.
