The only way to fend off far-right parties is to elect governments that will actually take action to make people’s lives better. I mean dramatic, even drastic actions to improvements in quality of life for real people, not billionaires.

Centrists and even some center-left parties don’t seem to get this, or they do but they don’t care. It seems like leftist parties are the only ones that are willing to step up. They need our support more than ever.

Big congratulations to the people of Hungary. Hopefully this is the start of a much better chapter in their country’s history.

I fell for it. It’s crazy to think how heavily I’ve been trained to believe everything I see is wrong in the most embarrassing and laughable way possible. That’s pretty depressing if you think about it.
