    Because all media is owned by right-wing ideologues or the wealthy who are coordinating messaging together as a class?

    One reason is that the owner of Politico is giving his media direct instructions to run campaigns against center left and green parties in order to push conservative and right wing parties.

      its even rampant in The Guardian, a zillion articles about Reform and near zero about The Greens in the UK.

      Similarly in all Australian media

      Maybe another reason is that the center left continually ignore what the people are asking their government to do or that the center left is completely dissociated from the reality.

      I mean, if with a war going on in the middle east and all its consequences on the international commerce, the left’s (Italian to be precise and fair) priority in the european parliament is the battle over the air trasport of musical instruments (source in Italian) maybe there is a reason beyond the “someone is doing campaigns against center left and green parties”

      Also, as long as the center left in some way justify crimes “just because the criminal is from $UNLUCKY_GROUP_OF_THE_DAY”, I think the situation is pretty clear.

        Thank you for acknowledging that the center left parties are making genuine mistakes.

        Und selbst zwei Tage vor der Wahl schrieb Döpfner an Reichelt: “Please Stärke die FDP. Wenn die sehr stark sind können sie in Ampel so autoritär auftreten dass die platzt. Und dann Jamaika funktioniert.”

      Yes, it’s all just a conspiracy. The center left parties are flawless

        More than one position can be true. Center left Parties all over Europe are in bad positions, but ALSO right wing media has a habit of trying to induce doubt or anger.

          Well, we need to have this debate. Was Joe Biden really the best ticket for the center left? Does Europe want to replay the US mistakes?

      And that thread overwhelmingly rejected the banning of these sources.

      Here is a ublock filter (for default lemmy web interface), so you don’t have to see them anymore.

    Maybe because the center-left should move to the left without shame. If the right is gonna call them communists anyway at least they should give them a good reason.

      Depends on what lies further to the left. In many countries it is anti-imperialist moralism combined with anti-growth policies. Good luck!

    The unwillingness to self-criticize among the center left was amply demonstrated by some commentators here. QED
