    while i largely agree i think it’s worth noting that Sinn Fein won the popular vote in 2020 and there was a soft bourgeois coup to maintain power. not that SF are much use, they rolled over and let that happen and then completely fucked the following election which should have been a gimme. and i am under no illusions that SF will save us. just, you know, our system doesn’t really resemble democracy

      Enough people voted for three bourgeois parties to form a government in 2020. Wouldn’t call it a coup if Sinn Fein wherent organised enough for a snap election to run enough candidates.

      The middle class then lost their minds after the Ukraine war and I still demand they go fight in the foreign legion if they care so much.
