what i mean by that is americans have repeatedly been shown that neoliberal policies have repeatedly eaten away at the already meager social safety nets of the united states, yet americans continue to double down on the political duopoly that created the neoliberal policies nonetheless.

mexicans, on the other other hand, also got see how neoliberal policies were fucking them over but they collectively abandoned their political duopoly and that's why shienbuam and the morena came into existence and why they are in charge. (at least for now until the united states invades to reverse this sort of social progress.... again).

the europeans, mexicans, and americans all technically have multiple parties; but in all systems only two parties are ever outright winners of their respective systems and the americans are only unique in that it's more liberal party (aka the democrats) use the legal system to ban other parties.

i wonder how the europeans will react and i hope it’s not like the americans.

Maybe Europeans can chime in why leftist parties never seem to achieve political power, leaving fascists the only ones presenting an alternative to the system that's eroding before everyone's eyes.

generations of anticommunist brainwashing plus the pre-existing deeply embedded white supremacy will do that to you
