Who ever becomes leader and it’s hard to see any significant policy change coming from anyone in the current labour cabinet (given they shackled themselves with their 2024 manifesto) needs to implement PR ASAP. Even if that means postponing the reform of the House of Lords. Doing both constitutional reforms is perhaps too much given all the other policy areas that need addressing.

he had an amazing campain preciously because he was able to cut through all the barriers.
i'm not saying don't vote, i'm saying lets address some of those barriers designed to keep leftists of the ballot.

We defiantly need more Mamdani's. In fact he gained prominence preciously because he was able to cut through with amazing comms and true leftist values.
It also highlighted the HUGE campaign against him, not just by racist republicans but a far more pernicious smear campaign within the democratic party spearheaded by the likes of Cuomo.

not at all. i encourage voting. i just think parties should be fair in reasoning why those who didn't didn't.
to state otherwise is to blame the electorate for the actions of the opposition.

i don't disagree with that but doners also play a large part not only in primary elections, but also the window of political discourse at a national level.
when money speaks louder than the people supposed to represented, may will feel disenchanted.
i'm not just talking about the left, but i do think that the majority of the electorate are leftist even if they don't know it yet.

I can see both sides of this argument, because it implies an understanding of politics that billionaires spend billions trying to prevent normies from understanding.
For instance trump being 'anti-war', it was obviously BS, but it was also stronger then any statement made by Kamala on Palestine.
Parties also need to earn votes and not just rely on gaining support for being the least worse option.

there's a great satire song about this. It prods fun at how the dems would rather defend the culture wars than address systemic inequality or counter imperialist foreign policy.

The UK aided the US in committing piracy against Venezuela.
Via the Guardian: The UK MoD added that the ship was “initially flying a false flag,” and then “turned off its transponders while at sea and sought to reflag while being pursued, indicating its nefarious links to global sanctions evasion.”
This is a bullshit justification. It’s like saying we assisted a burgleler robbing a house but it was okay because they were late paying their latest council tax bill.

One thing that annoys me about UK Labour right now is their continuing acceptance of reactionary rhetoric.
Yes it politically squeezes the tories out of existence, but it also pushes the opposition to Reform.
I'd much rather a labour party that ceases the centre-right even at the expense of conservatives ceasing back ground.
Labour need to focus on a progressive vision that appeals to the base and can garner support from the disillusioned right.

The right use the word “freedom”.
But what they do not understand is that: it's not freedom for self. It’s freedom for all.
What they propose is restrictions on others in the promise of more freedom for you.
But the reality is less freedom for everyone - and more for the oligarchs.
It's time the left reappropriates the term.

hey look if the hand is all aces, you don't need much skill to win against a hand of 2s. But sometimes, their is skill in the game, it depends on the hand. Luck is definitely a greater factor than skill - there is no denying that.

Let’s be honest. Meritocracy in organisations is a myth. Promotion’s really go to those that can do the best job, but those that best lick thier bosses boots.

Perhaps an unpopular take on here now, but i don't innately hate AI - what I dislike is it being used to accelerate inequity. Trickling money and power to the 1%. Using training data that was stolen from the people and then rented back to them. Companies that consume an unsustainable amount of energy just to further their own profit.
My view on AI is like Marx's view on capitalism. As an economist, Marx wasn't anti-capitalist, he just saw the pitfalls and thought we could do better.
We can. ✊

I don’t care if democrats are 99% in the polls - a 1% chance for a fascist to gain power is a percent too far to get complacent about.

In this world, there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical.
Our cleverness, hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
- Charlie Chaplin
