What people are saying
For now, there is no one I want to vote for. The political landscape makes me sad.
I have the deep conviction that extremists coming to power in our country is impossible. I think we are more open than that.
I think the way young people are regarded in our country is very alarming. It says something about our society and its dysfunctions.
