Here in Croatia, people complain about HDZ and complain about foreign workers from India, Nepal and South east Asia but same people are voting for HDZ (or DP, but they are essentially same party) since 1991. Also that same HDZ had some scandals with corruption, you know nothing to worry about. Like they complain about them, but they keep voting for them or they keep voting for people who will enter coalition with HDZ making it the same shit either way. For that matter, I never voted for HDZ or anyone similar to them. Only time when people are united are during some big sports events like world cup in football or similar stuff.
Frustrating. In the states, White conservatives (and white people in general) are the special base that American elected officials seem to only listen to and have considerable power. Safe and secure, not really needing to worry about things (but they do anyway oh and tell you what to do).
As long as that group get’s theirs they will keep voting in these politicians who really do not care about all people only money.
Their entire voting base is doggedly fixed on the idea of turning up to vote even if they hate the candidate or even the current party platform. At the other end you have people who who consider not voting to be a high-minded protest, who only turn up for candidates who are ideologically pure enough: in other words, voters who represent no threat at all and can be ignored. Is it any wonder that those who only care about having power cater to the people who will still vote for you while you piss on them?
You guys have one of the only teams I’ll put a “soccer” game on to watch. Not sure why, watched them about 10 years ago and now always stop to watch if they are on.

As is the tradition. I don’t live there anymore, but whenever I visit every problem is always the migrants’ fault. It’s totally not the government’s.
True true, and only time when people are united is during some sports events or something.
