Adam Bonica @adambonica.bsky.social · 5d

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

I'm really sorry

I see you cut out the two messages below ("okay putting my money on CDA as strongest party" and "okay putting my money on GL-PvdA as strongest party"), but still impressive

Das müsste irgendwo im paper sein, aber die Ergebnisse sind nicht überraschend anders, und eher wenig durch linkere Politiken zu überzeugen. Das Argument ist halt, dass diese ja nicht die Zielgruppe sein können.

Many studies attribute the success of right-wing parties to sexism.

What is sexism? How is it measured? How does it influence elections?

My systematic review of studies on sexism as a predictor of political behavior and attitudes is about to appear in @poqjournal.bsky.social!

Verlieren Mitte-Links-Parteien Stimmen, wenn sie sich gesellschaftspolitisch zu progressiv aufstellen? Für @derstandard.at berichte ich über eine Studie, die nahelegt, dass es sozialdeokratischen Parteien eher schadet, wenn sie sich rechten Forderungen anbiedern: www.derstandard.de/story/310000...

Warum das Schielen nach rechts sozialdemokratischen Parteien meist schadet

Rechtskonservativen Positionen nachzujagen, ist bei Mitte-Parteien gerade angesagt. Im linksliberalen Spektrum gibt es damit aber wenig zu holen, warnt ein Politikwissenschafter

@dpzollinger.bsky.social and I are thrilled "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" is out as an SI at @wepsocial.bsky.social!

Its papers explore the foundations of the cleavage pitting new left against radical right parties, and how it compares to the classic cleavages of Lipset & Rokkan:

We show that coalition signals from the mainstream right to the radical right shift, rather than reduce, existing political divisions.

🤝 @jochemvanagt.bsky.social, Katrin Praprotnik, @luanarusso.bsky.social, and @markuswagner.bsky.social show that when the mainstream right signals openness to govern with the far right, it eases tensions on the right but amplifies antipathy on the left 👇

What do citizens imagine their political opponents to be like? Polarization is real, but it also lives in our heads, fueled by stereotypes. We asked people in 🇧🇷, 🇬🇧, 🇩🇪 & 🇵🇱 to describe opponents in their own words.
