Hopefully this is not news to Americans, but I guess it may be. Seems the entire country is in its own bubble, separated from what Europe is doing.
We are just people, wanting mostly the same things.
Shout out to everyone who said his lofty impossible ideas are never going to happen in reality.
Somehow every country can do the impossible goals of "maybe the rich don't own every store" and "let's make it so people are paid better" but America, but somehow they're the impossibility, never the one county that refuses to try it.
COMMUNIST EUROPE
Yeah, there is very little that is "radical" about Zohran. Especially when you contrast that with what the Republican Party is actually carrying out against the American people right now and we don't even have to get into what they may or may not believe or what they want to do, in theory. We can see that with our own eyes.
That's not even getting into the completely crazy shit that their funders are influenced by: insane dumbasses like Curtis Yarvin, who is so full of Dunning-Kruger that he seemingly is convinced he's a genius and books like The Sovereign Individual.
It's also not getting into how the more overtly racist part of the party is excited by books like The Camp of the Saints....
My take has always been (regardless of living in Europe or anywhere else) that these type of issues is exactly why we have states and municipalities at all. I.e to help each other solve basic life more efficiently. Of course there’s different takes on best strategies for this but I have a hard time seeing how Mamdanis policies around infrastructure and housing are extreme in any way
Wait, wait, let me get my best accent going:
“If you want less crime, give people less reason to crime.”
But that would involve not shooting people, so I understand that might be a bit out there.
Public transport is far from free here in the Netherlands. In fact I commute by car because it's cheaper
Username checks out :P
There a socialist, here a right wing.
Wait until you get to know the European Left.
Overton window and all that.
