No you didn’t. Saying it in the form of a question is not a definitive yes or no l. I can’t believe I have to debate semantics with you.

I did, saying I don't hold such a belief is the equivalent is the same as saying no. Now stop fucking harassing me about this every single time you bring it up just to harass me and I'm fucking tired of it.

Now that we’ve settled this will you admit it’s incredibly obtuse to say Wisconsin democrats should just try harder even though it’s nearly impossible to win the most seats?
Even if they ran a candidate in every seat and republicans did the same it’s highly likely democrats will still get the most votes and not the most seats.

The tricky part comes with ancap, and egoism, since neither specifically support hierarchy (in fact they’re opposed to it) yet are still considered right wing

No maybe the Democrats should, I don't know try to challenge the map in court as gerrymandering if they can't be bothered to try to win with the current map.

In fact, I think this year has provided the ultimate proof that nationalists are absolute dogshit at leading countries in times of crisis, because they are so ideologically incapable of even entertaining the idea that their country and government might be in any way vulnerable or deficient that they'll just try to ignore the problem until it passes.
It would break the façade of strength. Nationalism isn’t an ideology, it’s a theatre production.

Nationalism is my foremost criteria for any voter when picking a democratically elected leader. In elections here when there has been a Europhilic rightist against a nationalist leftist, I always vote for the latter.
In the end I guess it all comes down to individual values

I can't speak for Iceland, but rigorous nationalism has torn my country apart. From polarizing and pitting people against each other all under the guise of "who is a patriot and who is a seditionist." It's ruined families, social relationships, and the fabric of the otherwise unified state we've had in the past.
I'm fine with civic nationalism, the type that says "love your neighbor, regardless of who they are, what they look like, and what values they espouse." But that is not the type of nationalism being promoted in my country, or in many countries abroad. And I feel it's important to make that distinction.

Oh no, in the context of politics here, it’s between nationalists and Europhiles, the racists are their own little group no one really cares about, who preach the word of Odin and all that
No one really cares about left and right, in sharp contrast to what Ive seen of American politics where everything is left or right, and race is brought into every topic
Then again, "left and right" was used to describe the French legislature 200 years ago and makes no sense today for reasons I have mentioned over and over again
