I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

    I mean it absolutely is better. I am able to vote for parties that align closer to my actual politics. But we need voting reform for Westminster elections as well. Ideally to at least movimg away from FPTP to STV.

    Right wing idiots, neoliberals and outright fascists can get into power anywhere no matter the voting system or how many parties a government has. It’s more to do with the interests of those with money and power.

    Well in a true Democratic system this wouldn’t be possible, but conservatives have a majority rule death grip on your country.

    My friend there can never be such a thing as true democracy, the rich own the global media, and countries are their plaything. They can influence any election or any group including/especially in America.

    This is where it becomes a class issue, the rich can just throw money at the problem and engage in underhand tactics to undermine democracy. If you don’t see it as a class issue and that it is a inherent problem with such massive wealth inequality then you think how they want you to.

    This is one of the reasons people here are leftist, in the anticapitalist, antifascist sense not in the liberal social reform sense.
