The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

International social democracy is in systemic competition with oligarchic nationalism.
Serious question: Can somebody explain to me why the Signal boys loathe Europe so much? Exasperation with longstanding European refusal to spend more on defence really is not enough to explain this degree of hostility. What’s so bad about Europe? Too snobby? An obstacle to their libertarian dreams?

Remember, it’s okay for
radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers.
But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber.
NO NO NO NOT FAIR!
😠 😭
