Progressives,
*just* attacking Labour isn’t as useful as creating leverage over them and using that to push them forward.
If we only attack, we help the people that are *much* worse.
That’s not a lesser-of-two-evils argument, it’s our broken system, that we can use our leverage to get them to fix

An idea to protect our democracy:
If you’ve incited, or attempted to incite, an overthrowing of you’re own government, using means outside of the legal democratic processes:
1. Any media should be fined for platforming you
2. You should be disqualified from candidacy for any elected position

A) the politicians who make everything terrible
B) the politicians who do nothing to make things better when given the chance
There’s a long list of things the Tories in the UK did, and Trump in the US did.
But when given a mandate to undo it all, Biden and Labour do almost nothing

Some of us like the Greens best, some prefer Your Party, and others the Libdems and Labour (caveat being the good MPs left in the party!)
How about we team up to get as many of them elected as possible, to keep out Reform, and select better MPs than we have today.
Deal?
Or argue and purity test?

Hey, let’s all just forget that FPTP exists, and pick a party to split the vote with 😅
It’s doing my head in.
There’s some sort of collective amnesia about what we had to do to get the Tories out.
Nothing has changed.

So people are noticing Rory Stewart is a Tory.
And Alastair Campbell is happy sharing a platform with him because we should be able to have dialogue between friends with differences?
Rory voted for the bedroom tax.
But everyone rehabilitated him because comparatively in 2025 he sounded sensible.

And energy bills going up so much that businesses had to permanently close.
And our food bills going up because of their Brexit scam.

I’m keen to understand how we beat fascism without voting against it, anyone?
Seems to me the real power is our votes, together, coordinated, at scale.
That’s the real revolution.
I know that’s a bit boring.
But it’s how Reform will actually be able to DO their fascism.
By mobilising voters.
