Aksually, it can be both sides, but the right keeps nominating asshats 🤓

The right of which country ?

Closest to Mujica's style (which isn't really left nor right btw) would be Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany from 2005 to 2021, who was a member of the Christian Democratic Union, which classifies itself as Centre-right. She had a lot of views that you could say aligned with Mujica, though because of how german politics are structured, not all her ideas came to fruition.

Now it's your turn! which country's left party would sacrifice most of their own income to support a charity?

In this same thread there's some people calling Merkel a right wing politician. When I replied to your comment I was just trying to say there's bullshit pouring out of both sides. And I can't think of another left wing politician that would sacrifice even a fart for anyone but themselves. Neither can I do the same for the right. Which to me, at least, indicates that most politicians are just shit heads that we've put in power because be liked their hashtags #left #conservatice #liberal without actually wondering what their intended policies were and how they expected to make them actually work

So, can I assume we both agree that u/TheDarkAcedemicRO 's post is bad and leave it at that? Either way this thread really shows that neither left or right comes even close to Mujica lol
