As liberal Rafał Trzaskowski gains on rightwing Andrzej Duda, LGBT rights are among issues at stake in Poland and beyond

When Poland’s president, Andrzej Duda, goes up against his liberal challenger in a presidential run-off next Sunday, there will be more at stake than just the medium-term political trajectory of the country. The vote is set to be one of the closest and most important European elections in recent years, and the result will resonate well beyond Poland’s borders.

Come on Poles, be smarter than us!

And yet leftist populism is running amok.

Good

'Tässä Sinulle oikein kunnon, iso POPULISTI.' Ymmärrätkö, minä olen populisti, pahimmasta, tai parhaasta päästä, ihan, miten Sinä minut näet. Otetaanko Brändi' mukaan keskusteluumme? Kuinka moni brändi on Sinun mielestäsi 'populismivapaa?' P.S. Nyt jouduit kovan testin eteen.

Simply DE MO CRA CY

Doubtful. Trzaskowski backs reaganomics and soft homophobia (he’s against gay marriage and gay adoptions). Is this supposed to slow populism? Or does it fuel populism in fact?

Hopefuly Mr President Duda will win.

'could slow'? Only if trzaskowski_ wins. For the moment the race speeds up populism.

That's actually bad, because populism = democracy = populism The more populist the leader is, the more people get what they want, instead of stuff they don't want being forced upon them 🤷‍♀️
