Yes, that is a feature of democratic systems. Parties want to get voted in. So they bend their programs to achieve that goal. I live in Germany and here all parties are leaning further and further to the right, since the AfD (nationalist-conservative, some party members Neo-nazi) party is gaining in almost every poll.
Yes, that is a feature of *bourgeois dictatorships.
All your parties are moving right because the bourgeois-national interest demands far-right responses to capitalist decay. I wonder how many German investment bankers had their portfolios rattled by “Israel’s” instability? There is no democracy here, we’re just around to work the machines and to make sure the bloody butcher gets paid. What democracy can be found in a state tries to hide a genocide from the public? What legitimacy can a democracy have when it’s been so corrupted by a foreign power (“Israel”) who can force us to war? The democratic thing to do would be to drag those responsible for this into the street for public trial and execution.
If all that was at play here was mere democracy, we’d have an M4A candidate. The population is solidly to the left of either party on the majority of issues, but they get no voice because liberal democracy is an exercise in choosing between the options that capitalists have picked for you.
Your bubble is.
This is much less snappy than it is grammatically ambiguous.
Let me rephrase: “Your echochamber is”
Could I interest you in adding a direct object to the sentence?
Your bubble/echo-chamber is solidly to the left of either party on the majority of issues. The bulk of the population is mostly fine with or approving of a right-shift in media policy.
The bulk of the population doesn’t give a shit about any of this lol
I don’t know what you’re on about wrt “media policy” but I’m not saying Americans are communists. It’s been demonstrated in survey after survey that social-democratic positions are generally the most popular.
Exactly. Literally every poll confirms this. But they aren’t interested in facts. They’re only into Facts and Logic™
