is there any reason why this post is voted down?

because of the 'panic pessimistic breaking news everywhere', I guess. Somehow people want to believe that it's all really THAT bad and not that we are managing those hard times quite okay-ish

>is there any reason why this post is voted down? Because it presumes the only reason people are voting "right-wing" is because they are reading "doomsday news". Versus, you know, disagreeing with the way the "left wing" have been running things. Not sure why the left are going with "You're not poor, look at these charts" as a political strategy, but unsurprisingly, people aren't buying it...the world over.

  Describing liberals as left wing is really frustrating but it demonstrates exactly how liberal politics lead to right-wing authoritarianism and how ineffective liberals are at countering right-wing populism. If you think this way remember all the left-wing popular movements in recent times, like Occupy Wallstreet, Universal Healthcare, Climate Change, BLM or Palestine Solidarity. Now why do you think liberals in power did absolutely nothing for any of those causes? Why do left-wing protests do nothing if we are ruled by left-wing politicians?

  How is it possible that on Germany related news we talk about US again? Do you know anything about the current or former German governments?

    >How is it possible that on Germany related news we talk about US again? 1. Where did I mention the US? 2. You don't get to tell other people what they can talk about on these forums.

      " Because it presumes the only reason people are voting "right-wing" is because they are reading "doomsday news". Versus, you know, disagreeing with the way the "left wing" have been running things. " This sounds very Us. also another OP clearly refers to us stuff. You don't get to tell people what they can complain about.

  Sorry if I gave that impression, but it is wrong. "I feel" indicates that this is a not very certain assumption by me, and "We wouldn't be where we are" meant that I believe this is a contributing factor, not the only reason, I even gave one of many others (unfair distribution) few words later. shrug
