Don’t lump together people from different countries and different situations, they have nothing to do with each other.
American “leftists” have this quite unique propensity to understand less than nothing about political action. They sit around waiting for a good candidate to appear out of nothing, doing absolutely nothing to help anyone who can one day be this candidate they like, and then every 4 years bitch that candidates they didn’t knew about two months ago aren’t their perfect idea of a lefty.
Countries where left-leaning parties have a reasonable chance of success are countries where left-leaning people were doing politics, as candidates, as activists, and as voters. They were voting for and partnering with anyone human-shaped to form coalitions and to get their candidates into political positions that allowed those candidates to get more political power that they used to get into better political positions. If at any gathering of any sucessful left-leaning party anyone suggests that the party shouldn’t actually vote in this upcoming election because neither of candidates isn’t their favourite version of reincarnated Marx, that person would be thrown out for being an idiot, or bitchslapped for being a fucking paid troll-agitator.
Anyone in US who didn’t vote for 99% Hitler over 101% Hitler is personally responsible for every death that occurred on those 2% of difference. And for every difference in those percentages their hands becomes more bloody.
In democracy the only political agents are citizens, they decide what future they create, using what improper instruments they left with.
