    I don’t think I’ve fallen for their trick, because this is the first time I’m even observing a conversation on this topic. It hasn’t traditionally been a very relevant subject on this side of the pond.

      I saw the term “harm reduction” fucking everywhere before the election. I eventually realized they meant it as an argument to not vote for Dems. “Why should I vote for harm reduction it’s only harm reduction”. Looks like everyone fell for their trick.

        Then probably you live in the USA. Why would I see a term that is only relevant for elections of another country? What do you know of porvarihallitus? It’s a relevant political phrase that I saw a lot during the previous parliamentary elections, but probably you have still never encountered it.

            Yes. Because I have first-hand experience on what it feels like when it’s clear that neither Republicans’ or Democrats’ program would be something I’d wish for.

            If you want to get the likes of me to vote against fascism, then you need to sell it as a vote against fascism.

            And if you mean that you saw the phrase “harm reduction” in newspapers you read – did also the anti-democratic people see it?
