And which party with any electoral chance is sound on trans issues? Neither? So now you have a choice: vote on a single issue when you know the party you’re voting for has no hope, or take the less bad alternative and try to work from there.

And of course I am painfully selfaware that I am saying this from America where our choices are between two genocidal fascists credibly accused of SA

Yeah, right, because Biden and Trump are exactly the same. /s

Anyway, where’s the “credible” accusation of sexual assault against Biden? Laughed out of court for not being credible. And against Trump? A civil finding that he did commit SA, and in any state but New York, it would have been rape.

This all smells like encouraging voters to stay home because “both sides.” And that favours the party with the more fanatical base. Seems to me a more likely way to get death camps than Starmer getting in.

Joe Biden refused to engage in any diplomacy with Russia. The war in Ukraine is a direct result of that.

Russia had already invaded and occupied Crimea in 2014. The war in Ukraine is a direct result of that, and of Russia’s failed attempt to impose their quisling Yanukovich on the Ukrainians. Or do you also want to claim that the seizure of Crimea from Ukraine happened because someone was mean to the poor, gentle Russians, who for some utterly unfathomable reason are despised by every country that they formerly dominated? And of course the Russians had no choice but to wage a war of conquest against a nearby country that they had already been attempting to destabilise? And why would that be? It couldn’t possibly be nostalgia for empire.

Putin’s denazification

That’s rich, given how much support Putin has given to the fascist parties in western Europe.

“Killing Hitler just makes you worse than Hitler”

Hitler killed Hitler and he wasn’t any worse than Hitler.

Step one might be for Rishi to wipe them out electorally

Falange has done plenty to bring them down even further. He’s a vulture eyeing a tasty carcass, but the idea that he can somehow revive it instead of completely destroying it is speculative at best, especially in the longer term.

There’s also a reasonable chance that Farage taking over the Cons will ensure their total destruction, leaving Labour as the party of the centre right, and a slightly more leftish party (LibDems or Greens) as the opposition.

It won’t be the first time they’ve bombed Beirut airport (and other civilian infrastructure in Lebanon). Some of this has nothing to do with Hezbollah and more to do with Israel wanting to keep neighboring states poor.
