      Poland learned plenty. Record turnout, the candidate won by a very slim margin. It’s brexit vote all over again - half the country is indoctrinated rednecks. A TV station had statistical data - voting for the right wing candidate was proportional with shittier education. People after universities voted 70% in favour of Trzaskowski. People who only finished grade school voted 70% in favour of Nawrocki. You can guess which group has more idiots in it.

      They learned in the last Sejm election, but apparently they already forgot what they learned.

        In two years the government hardly delivered anything they promised. And not just because Duda was still a president vetoing everything. No surprise people are disappointed.

          It was to be expected that the polish government would disappoint to some extent. It’s a coalition of four parties that don’t agree on everything, so it’s to be expected that it’s mostly compromises everyone can kind of live with. But wouldn’t it make more sense then to vote for a president who most likely won’t veto everything, so that the few progressive things the government agrees on can be enacted? If you want progressive politics you vote for progressive parties/people, even if they don’t move stuff forward. At least they don’t move them backwards, so in the next election you can build on a stronger foundation.

      Neither does Russia

      And in my country, we’re expecting a Babiš-Fiala-Babiš PM situation akin to Trump-Biden-Trump in the US because of the post-Covid recession. At least Babiš didn’t become president in 2023.
