I would highly recommend trying it again. It's probably one of the greatest games ever made. Just make sure you save often (but don't save scum, the game's funnier if you don't) and explore to find some healing items before you do anything important. You can also heal in the middle of dying, btw.

Disco Elysium and HBomberguy ruined RPGs for me. I'm not sure if I hate them or love them for that
Yes. I'm guessing you ran out of morale? Did the union boss get you? Most of the time if you fail a check, as long as you still have health/morale, you can either keep progressing, or try again later. Plus the game is the most leftist game ever made.
One of my favourite lines from the game (MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THE LAST 30 MINUTES)
spoiler
The Deserter: He opens his eyes and stares right through you. "It was real. I'd seen it. I'd seen it in reality."

The Deserter: "The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone - everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world," he's silent for a second. "You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know."

The Deserter: "That the bourgeois are not human."
Don't know which is the most lib, but the least lib one is definitely Order of the Pheonix
