@ShinMarginalScr the vast majority of burnham's political career has been as a blairite, with some 'business friendly socialism' manchesterism bollocks thrown in. he's not even pretending to offer an alternative to treasury brained bollocks, and he's been clear about that. typical novara.
English
I’m not particularly fond of Tony Benn, but his leftward shift is well-documented whereas Burnham has been a career chameleon.
Novara Media@novaramedia
Progressive voters are unhappy that Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq war – but few remember that leftwing icon Tony Benn prepared to use troops to break a strike whilst he was a minister. “If that kind of archive existed in the late 70s, early 80s,” says @AaronBastani on Downstream, “I doubt [Benn] would have been the standard bearer of the Labour left. But people didn’t know about things that happened 20 years earlier in the way they now do.” James Butler (@piercepenniless) says that it’s “democratic” that politicians should be held accountable for their past choices – but it also feels like “people can’t change positions” anymore. “The whole communicative regime has changed, and I don’t think politics has caught up with it at all,” he adds.

@gayest_tone @guchi_luke the greens run for elections, DSA don't field a single candidate. one has more members with a fraction of the total populace. by their own terms, the DSA are a complete failure.

@Spectractiz @guchi_luke And both achieve just as much, who really cares

Poster on poster violence, you hate to see it
hasanabi@hasanthehun
@nukedwest which pales in comparison to your methods. also posting.
English
@guchi_luke @gayest_tone my point is that there isn't any comparison, because both parties are effectively soc dem but one has MPs, fields candidates and actually positions itself as an alternative, the other doesn't.
English
@Spectractiz @gayest_tone Man I am not about to get into a mid-off between the British and American left movements. If you were contributing to something better, we'd have something better.
English
@gayest_tone maybe you should tell the clown who's backing him to 'give it a rest', you daft prick.
English
@Spectractiz Can you all give it a fucking rest with Platner we get it he’s evil, he’s running for senate that’s basically a fucking given
English
burnham just completely folded to the markets and also backed labour's fiscal policies, but novara have found a way to still support him through some tortured and historically illiterate comparison.

@novaramedia @AaronBastani fucking hell, what a pathetic comparison.

@guchi_luke @gayest_tone it's been around over 4 decades, has less members than the UK greens and doesn't even field any of its own candidates.
English
@gayest_tone Yeah, but I think the subtext here is that a lot of posters here will say "there is no legitimate way to engage with the American political system" while constantly posting about American politics.
Say what you will about DSA entryism, it is a goal.
English
@gayest_tone it isn't just ticking a box though, is it. that clown uses his platform to whitewash unrepetent war criminals like platner, so don't play daft.
English
@Spectractiz Plenty matters, how you vote is about the least impactful way to express what matters though.
English
@gayest_tone yeah, better to just support a party which completely destroyed Gaza. nothing matters. anything else?
English
@Spectractiz It’s America there’s two parties vote for one or don’t who really cares. You probably won’t move the needle either way.
English
@gayest_tone one is a propagandist for entryism in to a genocidal party.
English
I mean he’s right but it’s also not a super original or meaningful rebuttal. Of course we’re all just posting.
English
this yank 'socialist' just sounds like some labour briefcase nerd. anyway, we'll let you get back to supporting a genocidal party, sorry, supporting entryism in to a genocidal party. it will work this year, pinky promise.

Itamar Ben Gvir’s conduct is entirely deserving of the censure it has drawn across Israel’s political spectrum, including from Foreign Minister @gidonsaar.
Ben Gvir represents an extreme fringe, and his mistreatment of detainees is abhorrent, wholly unjustifiable and antithetical to the liberal democratic principles at the heart of Israel’s founding and the values that LFI upholds.
His antics yesterday only further demonstrate why Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to bring him into government was a catastrophic mistake.
גלעד קריב@KarivGilad
Itamar Ben Gvir is a failed, extreme and incompetent Minister. His despicable acts today have sparked outrage amongst most Israelis. He does not represent Israel. He does not represent Israeli values. He is a disgrace to Judaism and Zionism. And soon he will be out of office.
English
this clown is one of most pathetic propagandists going. we've seen israelis rioting to protect the 'honour' of rapists, but it's apparently antithetical to their values!
Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis@chiefrabbi
I have rarely seen the Jewish world so united in revulsion than in its response to this shameful display. Such conduct is the very antithesis of our core Jewish values and an awful Chillul Hashem.

@byronicgirl Historically groceries are v cheap. Last 10y they're up but so are wages.
Housing is considerably worse, especially in most desirable places. But that's not a reason to refuse to make any tradeoffs, or to affect a new grad lifestyle that anyone in the 90's would call luxurious

re: frugality discourse, I made less than $70K post college, packed lunches, had roommates for 8 years in order to save lots of money. Then I bought land and built a house with savings. The anti-avocado toast boomers were 100% right. People are *completely* against tradfeoffs.

This is where Millennials and Zoomers lose their argument and the compassion some might feel for them being in a poor economy goes out the window.
I as a 52 year old man & make my lunches every weekend for around $3-$5 each.
And when you suggest they do the same it’s like you just pissed on their shoes. So it’s ok for me to sacrifice and do all the little things to save money at 52. But you at 30 consider it an insult.
Ok then…. fuck off.

@donaldp1917 @nuqedvest @centristmarxist 'the violence'. these people should never be forgiven and the democrats, like labour UK, are completely Irredeemable. just one more year of entryism, though!

@donaldp1917 @nuqedvest @centristmarxist she was completely alone and hung out to dry be her so called 'allies', whilst Palestinians were being wiped out at the height of israel's genocidal assault.

Instead we should have an amorphous Palestine movement that doesn’t have political representation

one of the most nauseating things has been watching palestinian suffering become incorporated into american self image construction anti zionism stopped being about palestinians materially and became about performing the correct political identity within domestic culture wars
