There are policies that Labour could adopt that are aspirational, practical and not especially left wing. To give one example: "Electrify everything!". Bring back the clean-car discount, and introduce a subsidy for rooftop solar and batteries.

I want the AI bubble to burst as soon as possible. Partly because i believe the longer it goes on, the more suffering there will be, for all of us, when it collapses. Partly from a purely malevolent urge to see its promoters suffer. I have no idea which of these motives is dominant.

More people should recognise that this is a massive force in our culture and politics. Things might start to make sense.
They will not accept anything less than the total dehumanization of women as true masculinity and that's not silly, it's extremely dangerous. That's the kind of mindset that gets women killed

The Oklahoma House of Representatives gave that girl an award for writing a terrible essay? For getting a trans person fired? This whole thing is an op.

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did...

You deserved it.

I'm going to be the one to say it, and I don't care if I'm called negative for saying it:

Labour deserve to lose the election in 2026 with this sort of rhetoric.

Fuck right off, Chris Hipkins.

WTF do you mean 'agree in principle', like I mean the other comments are good, but its a dumb policy and I have no idea why Hipkins thinks otherwise.

Just goes back to the point that central government politicians do not understand or care about local government.

The thought of Labour willingly partnering with NZ First, a party that consistently posts vile thoughts (and progresses vile policy) targeting the trans community, is abysmal.
It’s also another argument for voting NZ Greens, who does not stay silent on trans rights.
Back vocal support - not silence.
