Then probably you live in the USA. Why would I see a term that is only relevant for elections of another country? What do you know of porvarihallitus? It's a relevant political phrase that I saw a lot during the previous parliamentary elections, but probably you have still never encountered it.
You entered a conversation that was clearly about US elections.
Yes. Because I have first-hand experience on what it feels like when it's clear that neither Republicans' or Democrats' program would be something I'd wish for.
If you want to get the likes of me to vote against fascism, then you need to sell it as a vote against fascism.
And if you mean that you saw the phrase "harm reduction" in newspapers you read – did also the anti-democratic people see it?
And you're not doing that by calling it harm reduction. They see harm reduction, as harm lite, as harm, which they won't vote for. We're going around in circles so I'm gonna leave.
