Do not give into cynicism

Do not give into helplessness

And fucking show up to #vote in the 2026 #midterms

ESPECIALLY SHOW UP IN THE #PRIMARIES

where we can get more lefty #candidates

If people sleep on the #generalelection too much, the primaries are a fucking ghost town, and that is a painfully disgusting shame

Continued thread

Things have become worse than they were a year ago. Housing has now gone from crisis to emergency. There is 40% youth unemployment. The politicians have publicly flip flopped on the tough choices. Income tax thresholds have been left too low and those making the decisions have failed to tax the rich who are driving the massive and unsustainable rises in inflation. With new laws nobody asked for, it's obvious that people who voted in the #GENERALELECTION last year expected so much better

Jang Dong-hyuk, a candidate for People Power Party leader, pledged sweeping personnel reforms and a nomination system rewarding only those who confront the Democratic Party, vowing bold innovation and talent development ahead of South Korea's next general election.

Interpreting spending

The Times reports that Labour outspent the SNP 3:1 in the last GE. Their conclusion, the SNP is doomed. Mine, Labour raised a vast amount of money from ‘private’ donors - it allows them to ignore their membership and country. The SNP needs a revival, selling out to organisations who do not have #Scotland’s best interests at heart is no the way to go.

Holyrood elections here we come.

At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against #FarRight #AfD ahead of German election

February 8, 2025

MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.

"The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.

"The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'

"The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

"Similar #protests attracted large crowds on Saturday in #HanoverGermany, #RostockGermany, and elsewhere in Germany, mirroring other demonstrations that have occurred across the country in recent weeks."

‘Mansplaining’ UK election coverage marginalises women’s concerns, study finds | General election 2024 | The Guardian

“Previously, women’s issues when they appeared in the media would have been around health, mothering, childcare,” said Kay. “What we’re seeing in this election is that women’s issues are being framed around the conflict around ‘gender ideology’. A potential interesting finding is how that focus might be crowding out other issues pertaining to women.”

Finally someone starts to join the dots that the manufactured controversy around trans women's existence is a UK smokescreen for the real gender inequality issues facing women ...
