Man I wish I could go
I was going to say it’s a shame Europeans can’t elect EU leaders in direct, EU wide elections but then I found this poll:
Macron is the most popular leader among liberals… There are no solutions for human stupidity.
The only way to fend off far-right parties is to elect governments that will actually take action to make people’s lives better. I mean dramatic, even drastic actions to improvements in quality of life for real people, not billionaires.
Centrists and even some center-left parties don’t seem to get this, or they do but they don’t care. It seems like leftist parties are the only ones that are willing to step up. They need our support more than ever.

Funny/sad story: in Spain, a party called Podemos was proposing such policy. The deep state together with capitalist oligarchs orchestrated a defamation campaign consisting of firstly manufacturing false evidence of funding of the party and its leaders by Venezuela and Iran, and then to leak this misinformation to capitalist media and run it 24/7. There’s nothing we can do until we stop listening to all mainstream media and ban them all

Unfortunately, a LOT of people are just too stupid to realize what “better” is.
If you tax a millionaire 10 bucks, and give it to the poor, a large number of them will resent you for taxing “them” and paying “those lazy bastards”, despite you literally give them 10 bucks.

I wonder how much of the time was spent on purity tests
I want to disagree with you, but then I see the responses you got here and how many upvotes they got and I can’t help but think that you might be right. Still, until we get transcripts and/or recordings of conversations had at this gathering I don’t think there’s much to be gained from speculation.
Leftist infighting is the entire reason there is no actual leftists in government in the US.
You could agree with someone 80% of the time, but that 20% you don’t will cause them to not work with someone.
There’s a reason that people target centrists for elections. They show up. Leftists sat out while a Nazi was running. Why court people who can’t stand up to literal evil?
Approximately zero, because these are successful political leaders that have had to work with many people they don’t fully agree with during their careers.
What you so cynically call purity tests others call a baseline of principles.
“Soooo what’s your take on genocide? I’m pro”
Yeah no, I’m not. And that’s not what I mean by purity tests and I think you know that.
How about you suck my farts <3
Totally sane and normal response
