At their Lisbon conference, the European Greens accused the centre-right EPP of crossing democracy's red lines by working with far-right parties. But when asked if they'd stop cooperating with the EPP themselves, the answer was clear: no.

    Right-wing voters: I vote right-wing no matter what. I don’t even care how hard they fuck me if there’s someone worse off than me.

    Green voters: Should I really vote for Greens when they are not perfect and have not successfully saved the planet yet with their constant minority? They even dare cooperate with others!

    Left-wing voters: As long as here is someone with the wrong kind of left ideas in that left-wing party, so they should not get any votes! Either my personal vision or none at tall!

    End then they all wonder, why the Right is successfully exploiting us while burning the planet for decades… 🤣

    Yeah obviously. You can pass decent laws with the center right EPP, but not with the far right. So nobody should vote with them. If they did not vote with the EPP, then the EPP probably needs right wing votes to pass things. Obviously that should not mean, that the Greens should vote for the EPP all the time, but cooperating on passing good laws is clearly in the interest of the Greens.

    Eh, overall Greens is much better. We should of course hold them accountable, but I think the primary focus remains to combat the far right.
