The Netherlands has a multi-party system just like reformers in the US want, reputable elections, biking infrastructure that people won't shut up about, a long tradition of social democracy, and just had a far-right election victory. The rise of fascism is not some trickery by Trump or the Russians or the US system: it's part of the world-wide failure of neoliberalism, which suppressed the left and then died.
@RichPuchalsky worth noting that, in this context, "won" the election means they're the largest party with 35 seats. Far short of a majority unless other parties choose to work with the fascists.
@georgepotter @RichPuchalsky Historically, that happens.
@reinhilde @RichPuchalsky it does indeed, but it's not the same thing as allowing a third of the population to win 100% of the power simply by hijacking one of the two big parties.
