    If we have learned anything from the last decade, the centre-left now is faced with a dilemma: deep reforms to drain the abscess that oozed out the fascists or continue with neoliberal business as usual, effectively giving the far right time to regroup and try again next time.

      It helps that millions of voters here actually grew up under fascism and still clearly remember how much it sucks.

    Hell yeah Portugal.

    Now, pass some laws that are going to make it hard for PT MAGA to gain a foothold again.

    Or don’t, and watch them come back with a vengeance next election.

    And now PLEASE don’t fuck it up.

    Don’t try crazy things, just be in power and slowly make small incremental improvements. Please don’t be a fraud, please don’t do something stupid.
