It’s the other way around in my country. The more votes the middle and left parties lost, the further they moved to the right in an attempt to claw back votes. But then there was a huge protest campaign against the right and the right started losing votes in our regular surveys (though still much too strong).
So I urge you to vote for your option that is not regularly talking about using fascist methods and undoing gained freedoms “on day one”.
that’s because there’s no true democracy. if we had a system in the US like RCV for presidential elections we could vote for whomever we wanted. i’ll vote for whomever I want to lead the country. at this time, it’s nobody. i urge you to do the same in your country. it’s perfectly acceptable to opt out of the system if the system does not work for the people.
the reason it didn’t work in your country is because people were still voting for people they didn’t want to win. if the left got no votes instead of getting votes because they started swinging right, they’d have to do what the people wanted, unless of course that’s what the people want.
but that should pave the way for a candidate on the left that people actually want
Candidates don’t emerge for voters that don’t vote. Because in the analysis they don’t even exist, because they don’t vote. It’s a null data set. No politician is going to gamble on it possibly maybe existing but don’t vote. No donors are going to donate to causes which the voters maybe possibly exist but don’t vote. It simply doesn’t happen.

I can understand and respect your stance. Personally, I wouldn’t take the chance of having to live under a Trump presidency though.

Nobody here is talking about people that never vote.
New to Lemmy? There are hordes of users (no exaggeration) that say they won’t vote because the Dems aren’t left enough.
