My state votes blue no matter who so a vote for Trump would be wasted. The only effective way for me to show a protest vote is to vote either Libertarian or Constitution party. The Libertarian candidate, Jo Jorgensen has a few positions I disagree with (open borders and support of BLM) which leave a bad taste in my mouth. The Constitution part candidate, Don Blankenship is a dirty rotten businessman and criminal who makes Trump look like a boy scout.
I'll have to plug my nose and vote for Jo Jorgensen.

Torys do an excellent job at trolling themselves. It's likely they'll do terribly this next general election. As much as I hate Starmer for being an enlightened centrist fuckwit, I'm voting Labour. 8)
-
I'm lucky that we have preferential voting, I can give my primary vote to the greens and/or the socialists, put Labor about #3, and the conservatives dead screaming last.
Labor here are just a less extreme brand of conservative.
-
why do you have preferential voting and I don't?
-
Labour has been tory-lite for ages. Libdems are essentially shy tories.
The UK voting system is fucked by tories. :(
-
life would be much easier for you if you didnt listen to the government and just did whatever you wanted.
-
Stupidest post of the century.
-
but seriously, who cares who is the government if you dont listen to the government? :dunno:
its fairly simple logic.
-
You'll care when they actively try to fuck you over.
-
example: the government says its wrong to smoke weed, I could post angry shit on facebook about how the government is wrong, or spend hundreds of thousands of pounds trying to change the law. Or I could just... smoke the damn weed.
-
:facepalm2:
-
Tory politicians aren't even expensive to bribe. I have enough savings that I could literally bribe the UK government. I'm not going to.

In the bubble you live in, the Overton window has shifted so far left that everything else looks conservative.
-
That's why I listen to James O'Brien, to see how these lefties think, he's infuriating though. Even worse than him, the worst of all, is Owen Jones. I can't listen to that guy it's too much to take.
-
Owen wrote a book inside which he admitted that he enjoyed watching another man fuck his girlfriend, he admitted to being a literal cuck.

Don't worry scrap, we all know anything vaugely not far-right is too left for you. :zoinks:
Labour are politically centre-right, and have been since Tony Blair's "Third Way" campaign that got him elected in 1997. Starmer wants a continuation of that.
-
(Also if that's not confusing enough, Tories copied Blair's "Third Way" concept when David Cameron came to power)
Funny how politics is not as clear cut as it seems :orly:
-
That's the trouble with Labour, they're all Tony Blair. People had enough of that guy. Tories took the bits of his policy that work and dropped the mass murder of kids in Iraq.
-
Tories were also all for the war on Iraq, you know. Tony Blair to me represents everything bad about Labour to this day.
They seem so stubborn to anything vaguely left wing, that they've even resorted to deliberately sabotaging Corbyn's chance of getting Labour into power at the December general election. He was never the best in terms of optics, sure, but he was trying to move Labour somewhat back to the left (even if proposed policies were socdem at best).
-
I prefer Piers Corbyn, he hates 5g

:indeed: :plus:
Some of them also sabotaged their own election campaigns during the last general election, because they'd sooner lose their seats than have a Corbyn-led government. Corbyn could've been PM already if not for those Blairite gits. :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker: :wanker:

The Third Way was never more than Thatcherism wrapped in dishonest rhetoric about how good it is for the working class to defund public assets and services and welfare and give more money to rich people.
-
DONT PAY THE TV LICENCE
-
Tony Blair may have been a Labour PM, but he was still a slimy conservative to the bone.
-
he just wanted to be famous and adored. he's a narcissist like most labour party members.

It's still a "softening" of position in regards to the tories. Cameron was basically a blue Tony Blair in a lot of policies (swapping war crimes with pig fucking, that is).
-
exactly. tories are right. i have lots of labour voters on my facebook and it seems to me like these people are poor for a reason... they're not very bright.

::)

Labour is the Karen party.
