Honestly, amurican left is becoming increasingly more like south american left, which is something you, should, in fact, be scared of.
Could you provide a more specific statement with a source/examples of this?
Aye...
I don't get it.
1st reason - Militants out of minority groups: Nobody can't deny that both Hillary and Sanders are making huge use of masses of people that go out on the streets and break shit for a supposed cause. This runs amok in south america and usualy becomes the hard core of a left politicians campaign and presence when he's not liked by many people. The reason for this is twofold: the people who take part in these groups are also generally unliked, and when they get something they perceive as support from someone in power, the group starts to become more and more dedicated to said figure. This hasn't got so far in amurika yet, but the embryo is certainly there.
2nd reason - Universities are filling up with left leaning support activists and protests, who are willing to go against anything and anyone they view as contrary to them, at times with teacher's support. Do I really have to cite every example of this that cropped up in the last 2 years? That uni in which a black student group was literally protesting to have them separated from anyone from another ethcinity? Traditional events being boycotted due to being called racist by some group leader or another? The extensive use of this as political leverage by candidates? This has been an issue for a long time in south america, which is only now turning it around, at least in br.
3rd reason - Candidates accused of crimes and under investigation not receiving significant rejection by voters who are indifferent of their political position: Sure, the whole hillary email thing is controversial, but hasn't she been actualy investigated by the FBI? I think thats a pretty big reason to rethink one's choices in politicians, yet this is brushed aside as some sort of scam or even as a conspiracy by many voters. This is a phenomenom south america knows all too well.
4rth reason - Candidates that have shown support for other leaders who are now seen as corrupt and terrible worldwide are not exactly being called out for it. This isn't a new one for sure, but I have a personal gripe with this, because Obama was openly supportive of the previous president of br, now a very likely candidate to go to jail for being the head of one of the biggest corruption schemes of recent history, and hillary has shown support for Roussef, our current almost impeached president who IS an accomplice of the previously mentioned president.
There are others, but I'm too lazy to list them now, I'll try to get back to this later. But honestly, some of these reasons are still embrionary in relation to glorious amurikkka, but its stuff thats happening, and there's people turning their heads away from it simply because it doesnt fit their political agenda, or because they are indiferent to it. Now, I'm not saying you should vote Trump, specially since the negativity he causes (or that has been caused around him, conveniently so) may end up giving strenght to a future very lefty and very shady government, but as a br citizen, I'm not quite appreciative of the one candidate that seems to represent the embryo of everything that went horrible in my country over a period of 12 years.
But hey, its your country :v. I'm happy mine is at least putting some people behind bars after fucking up our future for the next +10 years with the "everything that isn't us is evil and so is capitalism lol" thing lots of amurikan people seem infatuated with lately.
