Look, i don’t like democratic socialism nor social democratism BUT it’s something, appreciate the little things because you walk to the next floor by walking each step on the stair
(Or you can jump on the next steps, which takes more collaboration and courage)
Yeah, but there is a higher chance that they fuck up way less than straight up righr wingers or fascists (which are currently in the USA leadership), i’d prefer socialists but that’s better than nothing
It’s more that you see a socialist majority gain a slim plurality for a few years. Then things aren’t perfect, the oligarchs throw a fit, fascists start rampaging on the streets, and the leftist coalition collapses to give way to an ultra-nationalist government shortly thereafter.
Nearly every European country has experienced this cycle at least once in the last century. Some have gone through it a few times, even.

Historically, a large contingent of social democrats taking power has not been great for a country’s long term outlook.
I don’t think that’s really their fault, strictly speaking. But it feels like the socio-economic calm before the fascist hurricane rolls through.
