78% collapse in just 3 years. Because the US 2008 crash was incredibly lucrative for a handful of people there, I do wonder if the grifters in charge are firing everything they have at reaping the gains of disaster capitalism on every front. Who in the US benefits from bankrupt farmers? JD Vance

Does someome want to help the Americans understand the difference between right wing policy and socialism? They seem very confused and unable to compute what the Labour govt is actually doing.

Here's a handy guide. If the media are saying a politician is doing socialism, they're not doing socialism. If a politician is doing socialism, the media is telling you they're doing islamic terrorism, destroying western civilization, turning your kids gay and in league with china.

When Third Way says that Dems should hold off their anti-trans strategies, you know things are changing. The organization tends to be more centrist, and they are noticing the same thing the far-right is... the Republican anti-trans campaign cycle is NOT working this year.

Speaking of hope hoovers, Labour could not even be bothered to come up with a slogan they didn't thieve from the Greens. But sure, more perpetual wait and see from the already furthest right govt in all of our lifetimes.

speech from burnham is embarassing. pretty much what i expected. a lot of buzzwords and focus grouped phrases with absolutely zero substance and a pledge to drill more oil, funnel more public money to the private sector, and a lot of hot air about 'hope' and how all of our problems are the internet.

It's genuinely hilarious how wildly inappropriate Labour's, Hope Again slogan is and not just because they stole if from the Green Party like they asked AI, and becauze Labour is and has been in power now for years. Go on then Labour, just do whatever things now. No need to hope for power to act.

democrat transphobia is worse than republican transphobia bcos it’s so cynical and opportunistic. republicans at least have an end game — the erosion of gay and women’s rights. libs don’t even understand the bigotry they’re adopting. they’re just doing it bcos ‘matty’ told them too. 🙄
