Why do green parties struggle electorally despite widespread support for climate action? My new (first 😱) paper explores why green parties remain uniquely challenged in economic crisis & that the mechanism is not only about sociotropic concerns, but also voters’ pocketbooks 🧵 doi.org/10.1017/S147...

When you ask people about economic inequality, what crosses their minds? In a new open-access paper in Sociology, I asked 47 participants this question. Almost no one talked about money alone. Instead, they pointed to gender, race, visa status, language, and disability. 🧵👇

Wählen junge Männer immer weniger links? Nicht in Berlin: Noch nie haben bei einer Abgeordnetenhauswahl so viele Männer unter 25 eine Partei links der SPD (Linke oder Grüne) gewählt wie am Sonntag. Dennoch wird der Gender Gap grösser – weil junge Frauen in Berlin noch stärker nach links rücken.
