And I convinced at least 12 people to vote for us. I also managed to get several more people to get on the fence about voting for us.

Fun things I heard:

You guys are extremists! - To which I replied: extremist against which group? I also asked for an example of our extremist policies but nobody managed to name one. They just read we were in the media. I managed to explain that we are seen as extremisits by the rich people controlling our society.
You guys are on the side of Russia - This was funny because I guess you could see it that way but I gave a diplomatic answer about not being on the side of Russia but rather not wanting this war to escalate any further.

Other debates were about our plans and how we want to realize them.

It was fun doing this actually. Our group in our district managed to convince at least 100 people to vote for us on this day alone.

Are you focused on nationalizing waffle production?

State distributed waffles are the only reason I joined tbh

Opinion on Trappist Beer monks and monasteries?

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They're great as a culinary art. The monastries are always nicely maintained. The monks keep to themselves most of the time and don't bother anyone. Overall, good thing.

Yeah, they seem quaint. Trappist beer is expensive though. If your party got elected, would you nationalise the monasteries (I assume they are some sort of private ownership now) but keep the artisanal production? How would you distribute the beer? A national waiting list anyone could get on with a limited number of beers per person?

I'm sure there are more important issues facing Belgium, but I don't know what they are.
