Endorsed by the American far-right? How & when? 

David Duke former Grand Wizard of the KKK endorsed his campaign, as well as the militia groups at Charlottesville.

You're right. I was too quick. Social democracy and democratic socialism are indeed two different ideologies where democratic socialism is more left wing and often pretty anti-capitalist.

Several of the supporters in other countries (like Bernie Sanders) mention us as democratic socialists, even though the parties that are identified as democratic socialists (in Finland's case Vasemmistoliitto) are mainly very secondary parties who are rarely in government.

Yep. But then again people like Bernie Sanders are the reason why the "Every american is a retard" stereotype exists lol

I absolutely want to be a Grand Dragon or at least part of the Great Council of Centaurs, but I'm not very fond of the 'joining the KKK' part :p

There should be an anti-KKK themed organization with those ranks :d

    • I`m a traditionalist and I like alpine skiing competitions in the morning hours, illuminated by the sun In ski jumping this is practically non-existentthis in contrast the early 21st century (It's nice that at least there's Planica at the end of every season). There are also traditional competitions under artificial lights, like in Schladming or Madonna di Campiglio. There's no need to do the same thing everywhere as in ski jumping. Alpine skiing finals are rarely super exciting, because usually everything is clear and the skiers are tired from the long season. Finals were often canceled, so this year it was okay for me. If someone wanted a spectacle, that's what the Olympics Games or the World Cup in Kitzbuchel.

    • Baffling scheduling again. It's like FIS want to drive people away.    It's the Finals, on paper your big conclusion to the season, yet it feels like "let's get this over with". Just compare how the ATP treat their finals with this.   Ok, you want to have the GS & SL on Tuesday/Wednesday. That's fine, i've been advocating for more mid-week starts to begin with. But why, oh why do you have them in the middle of the day, on a work week.  Why aren't you having them in the evening, in prime time, when people are off work. Make it a big special event, which people want to visit and not during the day in front of a 100 fans. It's not that hard to choose a place with some floodlights.     And even this week we don't have Champion League football, so the night is free from big competition. Perfect opportunity to have alpine skiing on TV right now, but noooo.
