You justify those who lied,
By wearing the badge, you're the chosen collective leadership committee.

Needs some work, but thats their party for you.

As soon as you say it's okay to debate whether a certain group has the right to be treated fairly, you're admitting it's okay to consider treating some groups unfairly, can't you see that?

Not necessarily the church, but the decline of all social places where we meet people who have different views.

The pub, the park, the library, dance class, social clubs, etc etc

The only reason immigration is dividing this country is because politicians want to blow dog whistles rather than try and deal with underlying problems of inequality and austerity, cos that would be hard and not popular with their donors.

They do put a lot of emphasis on working with UN, which needs reforming as much as NATO does.

We need closer defence ties with Europe and less reliance on US. The greens oddly enough are more likely to achieve that than traditional parties.

If it helps, this is green party policy on NATO

Well yes they could, and should.

but going on past record that means they'll carry on with doing the opposite.

Yep, but you could also argue this view of gender roles is much older and in west goes back at least to feudal syatem

I think it's more of a vote loser for gender critics than for progressives.

The vast majority of the public are either trans supporters or just don't care.

The cost of living is a much more important topic for general public.

Piers Morgan tried and Zak did an excellent job of responding calmly with a clear position. (The vid will be around somewhere).

Gender critics love to talk about biology but generally know very little about it beyond their view that biological sex is binary (which it isn't) and immutable (ditto)

You're gonna be unpopular. Be unpopular because you're fixing things, not because you aren't.

There's a group of what I call dinner party lefties who think they're much smarter than everyone else,
but they're not, and ultimately their egos get in the way.

To them solidarity means everyone should follow me, not let's work together.

Your Party is prime example of this.
