"climate change and other left wing topics"... I know that's basically how it works in some countries, but it's insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn't support such statements.

Thanks for pointing that out. It’s just so normal to think that way here that they’ve even corrupted me into framing climate change that way. It’s not a left wing topic; it’s a reality.

I just hope young people who are thinking of voting conservative here keep in mind that those assholes literally don’t believe in climate change and by extension science and facts. That alone should automatically disqualify conservatives from anyone’s consideration.

It's not a lack of belief, it's just an abundance of "fuck you, I got mine".

Politicising climate change was yet another distraction from dealing with it in a cohesive and unified manner. Divide and conquer.

Yes, in Europe, most political parties, both left and right, have their own climate change mitigation policies, because if they don't, they risk just not being elected.

Also no mainstream political party in Europe dares to touch Universal Healthcare.

Well, they have privatised it and made it worse and worse, with longer queues and worse quality of care.

Reality has a left-wing bias.
