    if they have an actual majority (more than 50%), they would but luckily that’s not the case… yet

      Yeah, because we have more than two parties, so a simple majority isn’t automatically an absolute one. But if you group the far right with the increasingly far right “conservatives”, it looks much more bleak.

        we’ve been in that situation since the 1980’s; our center-right and our far right are our only choices for president now.

        i used to think europe’s democracies were ahead since they carried on with progressive initiatives the americans stopped doing in the 1970’s, but now i wonder if europe’s lurch rightwards is them catching up to the americans.
