  • This is true, but that cement is weak and the foundation shaky.

    Labour didn’t meaningfully increase its vote share, turnout was the lowest in 20+ years, and and the average seat now is incredibly marginal - down from an average of 12k to 6k. The free ride is over, Labour have no answers, and no real bedrock of support.

    There’s an opportunity to organise, agitate, and exploit that weakness outside of electoral politics. There’s about to be potentially millions of totally disaffected libs over the next few years who’ll be looking to make sense of this shitshow and we shouldn’t leave them to the far right.












  • Perhaps it’s sematics, but I don’t think she was ever really on the left (even in the US-centric online space) and she’s spent the last couple of years entwined with the Democrats and punching left agains even mild US-soc dems. Even within an American politics online person capacity I’d argue she’s already in her post-left pivot and will only go further.

    “Red Scare or Amy Terese” should not be the benchmark.


  • I’m not trying to be a dick, but who could have possibly predicted that?

    And then naturally the move is to double down on a load of scratched lib shit and democrat punching left.

    Personally, if I was fucked over by the machinery of a political party that I (somehow as a supposed leftist) didn’t see coming, that might inspire oppositon in me rather than establishment media oppurtunity.
