the die linke part

thanks im gonna read it now

okay done

i think she was critized for it

and it doesnt seem to be a wideheld belief in her party?

I am by no means eliminating the argument that the best response to the refugee problem is fixing the countries themselves but the rhetoric is troubling. Its almost as if they are saying that the only way to attract voters is to elect big mouths like the far right

she was elected leader

was she elected leader after these remarks?

so was Marijnissen

are there any statements of her before she was elected

i dont think marijnissen used to say this before

Well she emulated the previous score of Die Linke, in largely the same parts

sorry what do you mean?

emulated the previous score

Die Linke's score was largely unchanged.

from the previous election

She is popular inside the party

i think i am unfamiliar with the german election system

is the party leader elected by the party or by popular vote from outside?

or do you mean the election results in a general election where die linke has same result shows that people agree wit hher?

the election result

i dont think that hsows that the left party supports it right?

left voters vote on die linke because they are very left wing

and i dont think xenophobia is a pervasive aspect of die linke

i think you have to show campaign posters or something like that saying stuff like that

or their party program

i dont think individual members saying that shows it

unless you have several examples from one party

I am not trying to not believe you on purpose or something, dont get me wrong.

no you are right to be critical

I just didn't see this before the emergence of right-wing populism

and now it seems we are trying to imitate them in certain aspects

most notably via this concept of workerism

aka the proleteriat is always right

i get that

hmm

i mainly feel this works way stronger on centre-right paries

like the Dutch VVD does this a lot

i never felt like it works strongly on left wing parties

maybe a little bit
