The right have devised and extremely effective strategy: spam the Internet with an absurd amount of hit pieces against the left (and liberal!) politicians. They monitor the reaction, and as soon as one takes hold, they push it - hard.
The left have a special talent for not showing up or wasting their vote on a no hope candidate. This strategy plays straight into that weakness.
Some examples: incubators for babies during the Brexit vote, being pro-Palestine during the 2019 UK election. Being anti-Palestine during the US election. Any reason to sit it out… and let facists win.
We need to wake up and realise that sitting it out is exactly what the nazis want. They don’t expect you to vote for them. Just sitting it out is enough.
Yes, better left-wing candidates would be great - but that’s on us. Getting rid of FPTP in the UK might help. Either way, we need to wake up to this strategy and start being smarter. Grass root campaigns to get better candidates, sure, but for fucks sake, turn out and vote!
Why just musical artists? Paintings, books, whatever - so long as its on topic.
And Palestine still hasn’t been saved.
Sounds fair to me.
Well, that doesn’t even sound like it would cost anything.
I’m more interested in decent travel planning for public transport.
Saw them live a few months back, and they’ve definitely still got it.
Fuck me, is the FT going socialist?
A general strike might be a good start. And there’s always that 2nd amendment.
I can’t think of any other ones that are sad. Maybe I missed them?
What to stop them, though? Ship it in, remove the label, export it.
I think they might be mutually exclusive right now. For example, if any US trade deal includes chlorinated chicken, the EU is not going to let chicken into the EU from the UK.
Nope, the government would get replaced at the next election, though.
By the sounds of it, no EU company is making cartridge razors? That’s a shame. The only non US option I’ve found is feather.
I switched from Gmail to proton.
According to the article, it’s been enforced since 2017. Is there a CETA 2 or something?
I can feel the Thoughts and Prayers from here.
But the babies need ventilators!
