Election is pretty simple: economy went into toilet this year with inflation. DPP blamed, some people also upset about the speed of reopening (some complain too fast when cases went way up in the spring, and yes a small minority about it not being fast enough and hurting the economy) but inflating is def first. hundreds of news stories about restaurants raising prices, people lining up for cheap eggs, "this place has sold this bowl of noodles for 50 NT for twenty years and now it's going up to 65!" stuff.

If this election happened a year ago, after the gov successfully stopped an alpha covid outbreak around the island and inflation was still low, it would be a different story, but well, this year is not last year

Seeing leftists hesitant about overseas solidarity for the protests in China reminds me of my friend Vincent Wong's incisive point: dogmatic applications of 'The main enemy is at home' makes no sense for many migrants in movements in the imperial core.

Liebknecht's slogan 'The main enemy is at home' was for socialists living in the actively aggressor state of Germany in WWI, not as ahistorical, moralizing, isolationist dogma for Western socialists to withhold critiques of other states when they oppress their own working-class.
