How's it going?
How's it going?
I've been zoning out in the past week and I feel like doing a lot of things on auto pilot. I don't really want to do anything other than talk politics it seems. It probably has to do with the Dutch election results. I'll get over it.
I've made some comments on popular lefty pages on instagram, under my own name, and received death threats for it lol. I don't mind receiving death threats on reddit or lemmygrad but to receive them on a personal level was new for me.
How are you doing?

The election results depressed me so much, especially since my party BIJ1 lost their seat, after campaigning so hard for them. But somehow this made me more eager to further the socialist cause and want to be more involved in organising and activism.
Is there a plan for BIJ1 to go forward, you think? I hope they do.
Yes, we'll go on. But we are in the municipal councils of Rotterdam, Almere and Utrecht still and have borough council members in Amsterdam West and Zuidoost so we are still represented. I think we will use this election as a learning moment. I personally also hope we will work together more with other leftist orgs like De Socialisten, NCPN, and maybe even the Belgian PVDA.
Belgian PVDA
I'm trying to get our party leaders to do so. Lets hope.
