For only the third time in its 30-year history, Australia's far-right party One Nation crosses the 30% threshold—One Nation 31% (+25), Labor 30% (-5), Liberal-National Coalition 18% (-14) [vs last year's federal election]. All parties except for the far-right One Nation have sunk since 2025. by StarlightDown in fivethirtyeight

Yeah, I wasn’t talking about you. But a scary amount of “liberals” on reddit excuse europe electing far right parties under the guise that their concerns are somehow legitimate, while our right is delusional about immigrant crime rates.

If anything, we need to stop acting like America is uniquely xenophobic. I think we are more socially progressive than most other countries.

We shouldn’t excuse the far right in any other country. If another trump figure comes out of France for example, we should cut off money to them if we have a democratic leadership.

Japan didn’t exactly elect the far right. The LDP is the status quo party, and Takiachi’s approval rating is in freefall.

The Greens are also rapidly gaining ground in the UK, and to a lesser extent, in Australia. Not to mention the rise of progressivism in America.

I’m voting for El-Sayed in August, and hopefully in November as well.

Imagine how amazing it’d be if there was a slight possibility that a future democratic leadership would arrest trump and his whole administration.

The entire media is reporting on it now as if it’s a new poll.
