Yeah I think Gilmore bet the farm on winning that election.
I think Fine Gael level of austerity would have been insane
I think Labour did the right thing going into government and trying to make things less shit.

The issue with this idea is what would they be walking into.
Look at what Labour in the UK inherited.
There is a lot of double think with Fine Gael make the country worse and somehow they would be easier to govern after

You get your logic here is flawed as you believe letting FF and FG in government alone makes it harder for a left wing government to do anything if they got power
But also
Left wing parties shouldn’t go into government to lessen ff and fgs worse tendencies.

this is what really killed the place even before the nazis fully took over
the Venn diagram of “people willing to pay for Twitter so their replies are boosted” and “people capable of making funny comments” is just two completely separate circles side by side

twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse

lot of issues would have been avoid had Mr and Mrs Thiel got distracted that night
Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Circle back , you acknowledge any positives from the greens last stint in government?
Howlin acknowledged failing and without Labour Fine Gael cuts would have been worse.
But I understand these aren’t apologies or acknowledgment to you.
