Greens are ecosocialists that value social justice. YP is a broad tent that includes some fairly right wing people.

YP has some work to do clearing out bigotry, especially from the founding and the social conservative SWP-type socialists, before it can be trusted.

We can't work with social conservatives that call themselves socialists.

They will not accept any provisions made for the equality of marginalised people. That isn't solidarity; they need to be deradicalised first.

This is the mistake being made constantly by YP.

I'm invested. Let me get my conical flasks.

This is the kind of science I like to see.

Is there more science to do? Or has the experiment reached a conclusion?

i heard they're making a film out of all those subtitles

I mean, he's not wrong.

Phase one was to pretend there was a ceasefire while still committing genocide, and here's the Guardian talking about ceasefire not genocide.

Given Starmer's obsession with 'productive' citizens and the fact that Labour is attacking the Greens on drug legalisation policy, I'd say we're half way there already.

Might wanna have another look at the Greens policy on NATO

How do you expect me to respond to someone calling me a sulking nutter who enables Nazis? Someone who is also on one of the largest bigotry mute lists?

Oh, we do have something in common then. That's nice.

A former and founding Yorper teaming up with Rosie Duffield? How is this possible

How so?

I don't think we're gonna get on

He's perpetuating neoliberal austerity, segregating trans people and subjecting them to conversion torture, is continuing to supply a genocide, and is incarcerating migrants in camps that aren't fit for human habitation.

What about my judgement would you consider flawed?

I'm glad we're all nuts this time and not just you.

Share some of the smears around Zack! I want to be 𝘯𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 too!

Isn't it literally true though?

I don't think polite and veiled criticism is virtuous when Starmer's policies are plunging people into poverty and violently suppressing minorities.

labour think they're hated bcos of comms and in a sense they're right.

Maybe it's just the 'populism' part they don't like? Because yeah, they've got the far right part nailed down.

The hot dog costume meme: "we're all trying to find the guy who did this"

hopefully we'll get a rachel_reeves_sobbing.jpg for each of the cabinet. Maybe there could be a 'blue labour sobbing' tarot deck, with backbenchers as the minor arcana.

I don't know what's in his heart (besides greed), but the actions he is taking are socially conservative and, in the US, that always involves platforming the evangelicals at least a little.

Looking at a single election is not helpful. We have to look at the context.

That means acknowledging that neoliberal economics and corporate state capture, which are favoured by both parties, are pushing people to the right.

This will keep happening as long as dems keep fielding neoliberals.

Voting for the lesser evil over and over again is how you got Trump.

The democrats fielding worse and worse candidates created the culture of disillusionment. If the 'good' option is still bad, some people will fall prey to fascist messaging.

Harris was the same as all the others.

I know it's not the main focus here but urgh, 'withheld support for Harris'. She was shit and she's not entitled to anyone's vote.

It's just cutting off young people from information that isn't curated by the state and right-wing traditional media outlets.

This moral panic about social media isn't about safety, it's about control.

If we're worried about internet fascists then educate young people in media literacy. Job done.

The Simpsons 'don't make me tap the sign' meme: "Generational politics are a trap designed to distract from class inequality"

The Guardian's moral panic about phones is totally out of control.

Boycott. How can they expect these athletes to travel to a white supremacist fascist shithole?

The press have been quite literally owned by right wing corpo types for decades. This isn't new; it's the inevitable conclusion of for-profit journalism.
