Trans people knew what Labour was about once we read the manifesto.

You can’t put diametrically opposed statements such as ‘trans people… deserve recognition and acceptance’ alongside ‘We will work to implement… the Cass Review’ in the same document.
One had to go, and now we know which one!

We will also modernise, simplify, and reform the intrusive and outdated gender recognition law to a new process. We will remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance; whilst retaining the need for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a specialist doctor, enabling access to the healthcare pathway.

We will work to implement the expert recommendations of the Cass Review to ensure that young people presenting to the NHS with gender dysphoria are receiving appropriate and high-quality care.

People had to complain to get Polanski an interview.

Weird nobody has to beg the BBC to give Farage airtime.

I mean, it's not actually weird. We all know what it is and why it happens.

She just blocked me, clearly did not like the facts I was bring to the table.

Her beloved Democrats fucked up, and she cannot bring herself to blame them for the hand they had in all of this. So fucking typical.

By leaving it as late as he did, he gave her 107 days to campaign, that was it. Man was so egotistical he only thought of himself and not the party.

If a politician didn't get enough votes to win that is their fault and not the voters - it means they didn't do enough to sway enough people to vote for them.

It's scary how in certain countries (because it's not just the US) there's people blindly accepting dictatorship like attitudes towards politicians, and on both sides of the political persuasion.

Making criticisms of politicians is good, and is needed to make sure they don't become the next Trump.

Are you sure you're not 14 instead of 41?
This is concerning.
I'll try it more simply for you: If you voted for anyone except Harris, or didn't vote at all, then you helped Trump & the GOP & the people who wrote Project 2025 win the 2024 election.
It can't be any more clear than that.

i live in a deep red state. the only thing my very reluctant harris vote did was add legitimacy to a candidate that forced by the party elite, did not win a primary and ran a terrible campaign

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

If he had just said "I don't want to see naked butts of strangers" then cool, I get that completely but that's just...someone needs some therapy or someone in PR to tell him a stunt like this is just opening himself to ridicule.

Just to add - you did a very obvious tactic that allowed you to ignore what she was saying; you never actually cared about what she was getting across, but you needed the opportunity to do a distraction tactic to avoid having to answer her, and you saw her use of swearwords as the means to do so.

This was in response to someone who thinks those using swear words are "nutcases" by the way.

I have no sympathy for cishet white folks who can't handle four letter words. My political enemies call me pedophile, rapist, and worse on a regular basis, and you can't take someone using "fuck" to convey emotion? That's sad, cupcake. Grow the fuck up.

Ironically, this is exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about that robs me of the capacity to have sympathy for people who are sensitive to the presence of the word "fuck". My very sanity is questioned because I express emotions about politics, and I'm just rolling my eyes at it. But you can't

Lady Aranea @ladyaranea.bsky.social · 15h

Calling a tranny a nutcase because she uses "fuck" as an intensifier and won't coddle your honestly unhealthy sensitivity to the word is certainly a choice you can make. Don't you have more serious concerns, or is your life otherwise sorted?
