MODERATORS
Shame the leadership here in the US won’t come to that conclusion until many many more lives are lost.
I mean, it took our prime minister here to admit this after 4 years, a permanent decline in polls and a practically lost parliamentary election (his party may have won 1st place, but they've burnt so many bridges and lost so many seats that a 3rd ZP/PiS government term is impossible to form now), but better late than later, I suppose.
And this is right next to his desperate plea for agrarian PSL to betray the opposition and let PiS get a third term. Nobody who has a shred of an attention span believes Morawiecki on this.
The problem is that people on the right simply don't negotiate. None of their beliefs ore negotiable. They will follow them to their extreme conclusions every single time, and will lose out every single time.
Funnily enough, by west-european stardards, PSL would actually be moderate conservatives akin to CDU/CSU and the lighter factions of the Tories.
Nonetheless, even they understand democracy is worth preserving and that a coalition with PiS would mean PiS asimilating PSL further down the line. It should come as no surprise then that the general council of the Polish Peasents'/People's Party yesterday unanimously rejected PiS's advances.
They won't come to that conclusion until it affects their re-election.
Republicans view banning abortion as an absolute win.
This dude only came to this conclusion because he lost the election. Not because he actually really wants to protect abortion rights
