But this kind of thinking that, "if this vulnerable minority is like that, you shall be the superheroes that protect them", like, do I even know them?! 👁️ 👄 👁️
This is my take on it, let the young and healthy carry on with life as normal, because the statistics show it doesn't effect them. If you're vulnerable health wise perhaps quite old you should be helped by the government to take some time off until you feel it's safe. But all of this should only be advisory, nothing should be forced
EXACTLY.
The neodictature is here.
And our (surprise surprise) liberal government was prolly the best at it
I hope libertarians vote for Trump and the republicans, the dems are pushing for more forced lockdowns
Yeah, I bet that our national liberal government would lockdown us too
They've already locked down Bucharest
In the UK we have our left wing party labour they're trying to push for more nationwide lockdowns as well
Ya know what's the funny thing? The right-wing party is doing all of that
😆
The social democrats and national liberals just call each other names
But they're really the same shit to most Romanians
The national liberals are the more conservative though?
which one is in power at the moment
Yeah, but... theory does not equal practice.
In theory, **yes**, they should be the more conservative one. BUT!
Due to Romania's past as a socialist country...
They're pretty much the same party for the most part
just slight differences
That's for sure
A lot of social democrats came to the other party for some reason
Social democracy is a nice way of saying "we'll keep socialism, but we pretend it's capitalism."
I think the two party system we have in the US is cancer/divisive. People have to jump on board with a lot of nonsense positions on issues based on the one that matters most to them.
It’s a nuance vs coalition between parties to get stuff done. But I think it’s part of why we are so polarized. I’m economic conservative and socially moderate
I mean, Romania's polarized as well, but we have many, many more parties.
Some parties are just irrelevant, while others are too overrated.
The only alternative would be a one party system, I guess you could still vote on the elected representatives
If overturning roe v wade meant never winning another election, I would suggest not to do it. Lest you give power to the left on a more permanent basis. Because the majority of people aren’t in favor of making abortions illegal. But this is the issue we allow to drive party affiliation
Nah, the only alternative would be a no-party system. All of them shall be independent.
Instead of parties, there'd be some kind of groups, you know?
But the focus shall be on the person elected, not on the party.
Yeah I think if the libertarians and one or two more had some money and some air time people could be more precise in showing what’s important to them even if some of these wind up mostly voting together strategically.
The issue is the people supporting the president are usually more important than president themselves (and that’s usually the party). Not including Trump
Yeah, the person could be awesome, but he'd be supported by corrupts like Soros
The way things are so polarized into black and white needs to get fixed. So it feels like one country and multiple opinions are tolerated
A multi-party system is really it. 3rd parties should be allowed to be standalone parties that have real chances
Yeah social media is driving the tribalism much worse
The swamp does not want any third parties disrupting their power duopoly
3rd parties are automatically having lesser chances than the big parties. What's up with the US and duopolies?
