What is so terrible about the right being in power?

I'm a leftist. I assume you know the disagreements between the left and the right? Those.

Even a leftist can acknowledge the merits of his/her opponents being in power while cleaving to a set ideology. Cameron's re-election partly due to "shy toryism" among urban Labour voters. Macron poached socialist votes. Etc.

I can, yes, but I probably can't explain why I favour a centre-left party over a right-wing one on Twitter. It is the usual economic and social issues tho.

Sorry for the broad, open-ended question and, at the risk of sounding reductionist, which contemporary political force do you think best embodies Enlightenment values?

I think that might be the wrong way to look at it and co-authored a thing arguing why. It is summarised at the beginning if you don't have half an hour!https://areomagazine.com/2017/08/22/a-manifesto-against-the-enemies-of-modernity/ …

“Irregardless” isn’t just an error. It’s a mortal sin. Forgive my pedantry, but this one brings me out in hives... :’-(

As someone who has never voted conservative, I actually have never felt more persecuted than by those on the Left.

Concur Much of these political/ideological divides are just prosperous solipsists taking their egos to the realm of political debate & enjoying glib historical fantasy. If there was revolution & the grocery stores closed w/ violence in the street talk would turn to regret quickly
