Allies of Hungary’s far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to push for an end to US military support for Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.
Members of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs and staff from the Hungarian embassy in Washington will on Monday begin a two-day event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation thinktank.
The first day includes panel speeches about the Ukraine war as well as topics such as Transatlantic Culture Wars. It is expected to feature guests including Magor Ernyei, the international director of the Centre for Fundamental Rights, the institute that organized CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) Hungary. Kelley Currie, a former ambassador under then president Donald Trump, said she was invited “but declined”.
And what do you advise?
Everyone should be independent.
Voting for a party should be seen as a bad thing, due to history.
I would go a step farther and say remove the letter next to people’s names all the way down to the local election. Want to vote? Well now you need to do enough research to figure out what the people believe in.
What a ridiculous nothing. Removing a piece of information doesn’t make anyone more informed.

In the US, “independents” are a type of embarrassed Republicans.
If you just mean that electoralism is bad, start with that.
The tribalism is strong with you.
OK, before your makeup dries up, let’s check on a poll on the topic of support for Ukraine in the US:

It’s sad if you think that proves your point.
hmm… there is very little statistical differentiation between “independent” and republican, in political science we call this “they are the same thing”.
ever heard of “looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck”? tho not to lump ducks in with republicans.
You’re a shining example of why reasoning with tribalists is a waste of time and effort.
Thank you for proving my points.
I think you miss the point with the problem of tribalism entirely, and are just repeating a buzzword you heard.
Technically, it is Tribalism is if you call out someone for being racist, is it bad to call out racist behavior? tho, it isn’t tribalism to point out that two things are fundamentally the same thing, like how Megablocks is just off brand Lego
It’s really quite silly how you’re wearing the clown makeup and acting like the anyone who points it out are the real clowns
Don’t bother engaging with them. They aren’t going to change their mind. That’s the downside with Lemmy. There are so few users that these obstinate trolls don’t get buried. Engaging with them just makes their bad takes and bad faith bs take up more space in a thread.
It’s possible they are a real person who’s been banned from most other platforms for spreading their bile and have settled here because the low engagement means their troll bait gets picked up, or they are a non US citizen trying to astroturf US political shit.
I would agree with the sentiment but there is value in counteracting the pile on effect of the trolls by adding additional voices of reason.
