    Volt has always been and will always be a recuperative op to make radlibs even more non-threatening. They’re basically the Greens minus the environmentalism and with even more neolib bs. I’ve always wondered who falls for that shit, Volt is entirely irrelevant even at the joke elections for the EU parliament where everybody just picks whoever they believe to be the the funniest party on the ballot, but in hindsight i could’ve guessed that the Venn diagram between these losers and the European V*ush fandom is a perfect circle.

      Volt aren’t radlibs, they’re regular libs of the common kind.

      They’re a party tailor-made to the average student liberal, meaning of course that they’d get like 20% of the vote if there was no tactical voting nonsense going on.

      This kind of people used to be even more common in the past, but I suppose the kind of person to watch Vaush in Europe is also the kind of person to care more about the US Presidential election than any local news.
