If I lived in a parlimentary democracy I would vote for the farthest left party I could find.

[–] Xande@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also not always the best choice. Here in Germany the farthest left party is BSW and those are those that would crawl up Tsar Putin's ass in an instant, that basically think you should talk to the bully and he'll come to its senses and stops bullying others. So, the highest level of disillusion you can imagine. Even the green party has finally realised the only way to deal with bullies is NOT to "give in and be the better person".

I sympathise with anarchism so I wouldn't vote for marxists or a party that sucks up to dictators.

Fully agree. Americans have every chance and opportunity to not vote for geriatric maniacs. They only needed to look further than their TV screens, but they didn't.

And seeing at the down votes, and anticipating the mockery of saying that both dems and reps don't support the health, safety and prosperity for any but the rich and wealthy, I'll say this:

Stop parroting and start looking at how your precious democratic party treated its poor, its illegal, its downtrodden, its sick. You're a joke, kisses!
