I cannot tell you how many times in the last year I have said to folks here: Politics changes very fast nowadays; do not pledge devotion from party to party easily; leave yourself the intellectual and emotional space to assess things in the round much closer to an election, armed with more data.

As you know I have huge reservations about moving expectations of saintliness on to anyone. It is very much the left's MO. We set ourselves up for disappointment, our politicians for failure, then become furious when they fail. The experience with Tsipras in Greece was instructive.

To me it is a reason not take the entire stack of chips and go all in on someone else, but to distribute eggs in as many baskets as possible and avoid taking an absolute position three-and-a-half (probably) years from a general election.

I love the Greens and really like Zack, but I need to see a bit more detail and sustained success before going all-in. I see an awful lot of enthusiasm for him and sometimes it feels a bit brittle and manic. I worry that inflated expectations set politicians up to fail and voters to be disappointed.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social
I am fully supportive. I think you may be on to something. My fear is that a lot of people have simply transferred their impossible expectations to someone new and the moment Zack takes a position on which they disagree, which is bound to happen, he will become another never-could. Let's see.

As you know, I'm a fan of Zack - he's been on QR twice. But I am worried that a lot of people are transferring extremely unrealistic expectations to yet another politician they want to hail as a saviour - based on a very short period - and, in doing that, setting up yet another good person to fail.

The pattern people in the progressive space must break (I include myself):
I support Leader A; all teams except A are evil.
A has disappointed me.
I am transfering wholesale huge expectations overnight to B.
I support Leader B; all teams except B, especially A, are evil.
B has disappointed me, etc.

I am genuinely just trying to interrogate the frame of mind. Critical voters are great - a crucial part of democracy. But to me "critical" includes rationality. I worry that social media encourages people to take extreme emotional postures as a way of absenting themselves rather than engaging. 2/

Like there is a race for who will throw up their hands highest and quickest. That is a horrible strategy for wellbeing. It is to resign oneself to anguish for the next X years. And the only thing with which I can explain such an extreme reaction is the dashing of pretty inflated expectations. 3/

Now, of course, one can choose individual totally unpalatable policies - I would accept and agree with most - and say "I don't think that was unreasonable to expect Y" but an inability to find *anything* that has improved, results in a really lopsided and nihilistic view. 4/

And I wonder if this cycle then becomes BOTH the result AND the source of the politics we see. If progressive or left-leaning voters make ourselves, essentially, impossible to please and very easy to lose forever, doesn't that make it rational for parties to compete for right wing votes? 6/6
