steinrokkan posted:Again, we now have democratic Communist party that subscribes to Soviet era legacy. With free elections in place, we can gauge its real success - which has so far lingered around 12 percent, though its expected to get a massive jump this year. It's not the other guys' fault few people vote for the Communists. Personally I wouldn't vote for them either because pre 1989 Communism sucked rear end. The real problem is their desire to stay relevant to dogma rather than how you win elections, ie by solving peoples problems. Most parties on the left have nothing to offer people than rhetoric. The successful ones have been the populist lefts. Five star movement ,Podemos etc. More populism is needed for the left to grab more seats, if the recent trends in elections is anything to go by.

OwlFancier posted:Trump matters very little to the people with power because people with power don't need anything except for the US to continue to exist and continue protecting them, which Trump will do. Trump is damaging to their idea of globalism which is central to continued growth and continued income. The blocking of TRIPS and threatening NAFTA are quite big incentives to be annoyed at Trump. The saddest story of the American election is to look at the relative success of Bernie and Trump, but not see how that's indicative of people being incredibly sick and tired of mainstream politics lack of movement. Extreme lack of capitalizing on that and instead spending all efforts on protesting president cheeto puff.
