I’m on the left, but international internet conversations are always like this because people think “left = good” and “right = bad”, regardless of whether or not a country is heading into hyperinflation to sustain leftist policy.
People in the United States, suffering under decades of corporate centrism, have no reference point for leftist economic policies failing, just FDR’s programs which were pretty awesome all around.
It would be really nice if the system produced more than 2 options, you know? Sometimes the leftist party has very poor leadership or their ideas are just played out and it needs to lose power, but when the only alternative is the equivalent of throwing yourself in a fire because they’re openly criminal and corrupt, you’re damned if you and damned if you don’t, si?
Yes, it does suck. Problem is human society. “The right” represents corporate interest, and the left should represent the people’s interests, but too often the left just represents an extractive clientislist state. Whatever you call them, systems reward themselves. It’s why I’m pessimistic about government.
But the thing is all the assholes thinking they’re so smart because they’d never vote for a right-candidate and that everyone in those countries are so stupid for voting for right candidates, all the people downvoting my comment, are just an example of the globality of stupidity.
People are plain stupid all over the world
This is the truth. They almost always vote by their current emotional state, too.
Case in point: your comment.

So it’s not looking good for the human race.
