I'm so relieved with how much support there is for Harris and Walz.

And I'm not even American.

Having these sort of candidates really took the wind out of the sails of the troll factories.

No more "well you shouldn't vote Genocide-Joe" Ruski trollitos.

if only european parties opposed to local rightwing and conservatives learn something out of recent US example.

What do you mean?

You know that "left-wing" American politicians are usually center/center-right by European standards, right?

I mean, I'm not going to disagree that the far-right is a thing, but there's not much anything leftist that any European country could look to the US as an example for.

approach to elections and to the people. pulling same old worn-out faces does little, while conservatives put their base into extasy using the exact faces those people want to see and hear. the momentum the dnc got switching from biden to harris and making clear steps in approach to their base seems to look like a game changer. that is what eu parties could learn.

What?

Most EU countries don't even have two-party systems, my man. So I sincerely don't understand what you're imagining here...

No shit he met with them. He just didn’t want it getting newsworthy. Then it did and now he’s pretending.
