      Reform’s not good enough

      That’s weird phrasing when we’re talking about an openly bigoted far right wing party that is absolutely, clearly, and unashamedly running on racism.

      It’s not about them not being “good enough”, it’s about them being distinctly cruel and malicious. It’s sort of like if you’d said Hitler wasn’t “good enough”.

      I think it’s generally better to promote the people you want to see in rather than bash all the people who fall short of expectations.

      That’s the opposite of how it works under first-past-the-post. The more mud one slings at their opponents the better they do.

      People are waking up to the fact the greens are the only party serious about tacking affordability issues that everyday people are facing while everyone else is focused on pointless culture wars.

          while the left tells everybody they’re wrong

          They do? Who are these ‘the left’ that you mention? I must have missed the option to vote for them on my ballot paper.

          Tbh, I reject this idea that online discourse has got much to do with the results of voting in a rigged system. Having a choice between the Convservatives and Labour is not choosing left from right. They’re identical parties participating in the same scheme. Similar Harris and Trump, but the post was about the UK so I dont really want to get into that.

          Appeasing chuds online is not going to magically make leftist views represented in countries where leftist views have been systematically oppressed for decades.
