"Someone got owned on Twitter" doesn't count.
They get rid of the Pinochet Constitution and a Communist leads the presidential polls. They really can't kill an idea!
Terf island has gone to shit.

Lula
I wouldn't call Israel's election a victory for the left but they're not terrific for the right.
Jeanine Añez
Comrade Biden
China becoming the world's leading superpower
It's hard to say.
They did spectacularly in Feb 2020 but didn't get into government.
Polls sometimes show them as the most popular party in the 26 counties, sometimes not, because polls are imprecise, and because the winds blow this way and that. Across 32 counties, they're certainly the biggest party because the others don't operate both sides of the border.
Being the biggest party doesn't mean you'll get power in a multiparty democracy. You need allies and so far Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have done better there.
If they intentionally don’t get into the government to avoid compromising themselves, that’s the only valid strategy to do electoralism tbh
I don’t know how recent of news your after, but Lula, in Brazil, seems to be doing pretty well.
He was released from prison on basically a technicality within the last few weeks, and a newer judgement ruled his imprisonment to be straight up judicial corruption (the technicality angle was believed to leave the door open to further prosecution in the future).
So he seems to be out for real, and has been going after Bolsonaro pretty hard. It seems like he’ll be running in the next election, and has a pretty decent shot of getting elected.
Someone got owned on twitter.
For real tho what happened in Denmark?
Also it's not terribly great news in Greece but at least we successfully got the cops to mostly piss off from the streets, and also the government has started looking kinda shaky for the first time since forever.

Meant Netherlands. Everywhere north of Egypt blurs together.
Well, the left didn't really make much gains in the Netherlands... It was kind of the opposite...
My wording is shit. I mean, disregarding anything going on in the US or Netherlands.
Didnt you see Biden’s speech? They’re saying he’s the most pro-union president in history lol
Not sure, but some dude in the guardian is comparing him to fdr and lbj. Says he's governing as a radical.
Denmark is doing a little racism, since we have a supposed left-wing government, but our Prime Minister is just entirely an opportunist. So she will pass laws to actively demolish our low-income neighbourhoods, in order to reduce crime and unemployment.
