    still, EU countries have far superior electoral systems than the US to help mitigate the rise and influence of Fascism.

      They even have multiple parties and an Overton window wider than only right to extreme-right!

      That is if the other parties aren’t largely complicit. Looking at you Germany, Denmark, France, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Hungary…

        True, same is now happening with those awful US dems.
        Already tone-deaf before the election, saying they just needed to accept the uncomfortable genocide support or get Trump.
        Now they want to beat him by “embracing patriotism” “banning left wing voices” and other horrible Trump style measures.
        A race to the bottom.

          Which is weird when you see the IRL support and hype around Bernie and AOC. The people want more left in the democratic party.

            They are the imaginary left and selling the snake oil of curing the party from within.
            That party is sponsored by most of the same oligarchs, companies, banks and the MIC.
            It can never happen.
            And especially now with Trump the people can be easily manipulated to funnel their anger towards him while keeping the Dems safe.
