I feel so fucking lucky that for all its faults, Finland has at least a somewhat working electoral system (D'Hondt, so it's got problems but at least it's better than FPTP) and I can vote for an actual socialist party (or communists in regional elections) and that vote will actually mean something.
Unfortunately the majority of Finns are either outright fascists or at best lukewarm liberals, soooo…
But at least we've had socialists as ministers, which is better than the shitshow the US has. Socialists aren't left enough in my view, but I'd rather vote for them than not vote at all.
