    Thats just an overly sweeping, thought terminating, cliché thats only ever said by people who would never vote left of Reagan anyway. You’ll excuse me if I don’t bother arguing that “da left” policies =/= zero, I’m sure.

    Fair enough and you are welcome.

    I think you would struggle to show me anything with “the left” saying there are no problems.

    The mayor of Milano for one. Even if some area of the city are basically off-limits after a certain time, expecially for women.

    They might not agree with made up problems that don’t contribute to the difficulties people face but that’s not the same thing.

    Again, fair enough. They can think that it is a made up problem. But what should be the correct answer ? Because if I say “look, there is too many illegal immigrants around in this area of Milano (Stazione Centrale) and it is not safe because of the petty crimes”, the answer could not be “you are too ignorant to understand why it is not a problem”, you should explain to my how having thousands of illegal immigrant around living by petty crimes is not a problem, if you can (just an example btw).
    Or if I ask for more kindergartens so I can have children you cannot answer to me that we are already too many and the next week say that we need to welcome more immigrants because the population is declining.

    Of course, I must be wrong. Its not wealthy business interests who benefit from the housing crisis or falling wages.

    Ok, assuming you are right, where is the benefit of a housing crisis where young people could not buy an house since they cannot have a mortage from the banks due to the low wages ? I would understand if the housing crisis rise the price and people could afford to buy more expensive houses, but it not seems to be the case. Ok, I understand that there could be some very short term benefits, but then ? It is not that you can eat the house and as the price increase the number of buyers goes down.

    No, clearly its the left! Sorry, I’m not going to fall for the “considers you part of the problem” rhetoric. Youre either lying to push some “you can’t even be white these days” trope or are genuinely part of the problem and deserve it.

    Given that the left was in power (in one way or another) for more than 20 years of the last 30 years, at least in Italy, I would say that maybe it not all their fault, but they are not innocent either.

    The right have been in power in Italy and the UK and have been for years.

    Ok, facts checks.
    Here the list of Prime Ministrers from 1994 to today (so the last 30 years) in Italy:

    • Berlusconi (Right): 11/05/1994 - 17/01/1995
    • Dini (undefined): 17/01/1995 - 18/05/1996
    • Prodi (Left): 18/05/1996 - 21/10/1998
    • D’Alema (Left): 21/10/1998 - 22/12/1999
    • D’Alema (Left): 22/10/1999 - 26/04/2000
    • Amato (Left): 26/04/2000 - 11/06/2001
    • Berlusconi (Right): 11/06/2001 - 23/04/2005
    • Berlusconi (Right): 23/04/2005 - 17/05/2006
    • Prodi (Left): 17/05/2006 - 8/05/2008
    • Berlusconi (Right): 8/05/2008 - 16/11/2011
    • Monti (undefined): 16/11/2011 - 28/04/2013
    • Letta (Left): 28/04/2013 - 22/02/2014
    • Renzi (Left): 22/02/2014 - 12/12/2016
    • Gentiloni (Left): 12/12/2016 - 1/06/2018
    • Conte (Mostly Right): 1/6/2018 - 5/9/2019
    • Conte (Left): 5/9/2019 - 13/2/2021
    • Draghi (undefined): 13/2/2021 - 22/10/2022
    • Meloni (Right): 22/10/2022 - today

    The 3 undefined are what we call “Governo tecnico”, so not really from the Left or the Right.

    Tell me again how the Right have been in power for years, please. Maybe it is true for UK.

    When will you lot grow up and admit your own mistakes and abject failure to do anything other than make already very rich people far richer?

    Ok, so what the Left did to stop this ? Just make anyone poorer ? Yeah, of course I am part of the problem and continuing to call me “part of the problem” or “too ignorant to understand” obviously will make me to vote for you. Good job.

      “The left” aren’t pro illegal migration, never have been and never will be. Thats a right wing trope and anyone who falls for it is a moron, sorry. Not allowing in vast amounts of cheap labour, to bring down wages, benefits the people funding the right wing parties, not anyone remotely left leaning. I’m also willing to bet that the bigger problem is the legal migration system the right wing allowed business interests to fuck into the ground, to stop wages from rising.

      Or if I ask for more kindergartens so I can have children you cannot answer to me that we are already too many and the next week say that we need to welcome more immigrants because the population is declining.

      How do you think tax cuts for the rich are paid for? All the money that should be going towards those things are going into the wealthy pockets of the people who then convince you the problem is anything but them.

      Ok, assuming you are right, where is the benefit of a housing crisis where young people could not buy an house

      The housing crisis for you and me is the record profit boon for landlords and property developers. Very few groups support the right wing more than they do. They’ll have to switch to topping it up with public money going into their pockets soon enough, for a longer term solution, like they do in the UK.

      Given that the left was in power (in one way or another) for more than 20 years of the last 30 years,

      Youre saying they haven’t been in power for 6 years but its still all their fault? That seems a stretch.

      Continuing to call me “part of the problem”

      I never said that once let alone continued. Please drop the victim complex and some people do stupid things. I do stupid things too. However, believing the right wing will save people from themselves is a stupid thing i don’t do. But sure, keep acting the victim and blaming everyone else. See if that makes me vote for you.

      I can do that too you know. I just choose not to.

        Ok, then a brutal question: why are they opposing the mass deportation of illegal immigrants ?

        How do you think tax cuts for the rich are paid for? All the money that should be going towards those things are going into the wealthy pockets of the people who then convince you the problem is anything but them.

        Ok, that’s true but overall I don’t think that not cutting the taxes to the rich could put a dent in the total amount (btw, how much one need to earn to be defined rich ?). I mean, I fully support the idea that everyone should pay the taxes based on how much they earns but I don’t understand this idea that the rich are the source of all the problems. Yeah, they may not pay that much taxes but they are also a really small number.

        The housing crisis for you and me is the record profit boon for landlords and property developers.

        That’s true if you and me can buy (or rent) an house. If you and me need to stay in our parent’s house, the landords and property developers end with empty houses (landlords) or bankrupt. And there are other factors to contribute to the house crisis other than the price.

        Youre saying they haven’t been in power for 6 years but its still all their fault? That seems a stretch.

        In the UK ? I am not saying it is all their fault but for example in Italy we will pay the damages done by the left (and an idiot on the right) for years to come, whatever the left or the right will be in power.

        I never said that once let alone continued. Please drop the victim complex and some people do stupid things. I do stupid things too. However, believing the right wing will save people from themselves is a stupid thing i don’t do.

        Look, it is not to play the victim card. The point is that when people vote you need to convince them to vote for you. It is not always a rationale reasoning, I agree, but in general people tends to vote for who say will handle the problems people have (or think to have) in the day by day.
        Now, in UK the right were voted, they did not well so now people will presumably vote for the left. Good. In Italy we have the opposite situation: the left was voted, they did not do well and now people vote the right. BTW, in Italy the right wing won because at the last elections people who vote for the left wing did not showed up to vote, now they cannot cry “the right win”, they should have moved their ass that day.

        The question is: can we really blame someone that have (or think to have) a problem when he vote for the side that at least acknowledge the problem ? Yeah, most of the time he would not belive in what that side promise but what’s the alternative ?

        But sure, keep acting the victim and blaming everyone else. See if that makes me vote for you.

        Probably not.

        I can do that too you know. I just choose not to.

        I know. But even choosing to continue to vote for someone that not solve the problems does not seems a good idea.
