- “Tenants rights are oppressive to working class landlords of colour“ is the majority of political discourse and arguments across the ideological spectrum now
- Sorry but this is a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social - tier post
- I think this article makes a good point, Labour and its strategy for a long time been dominated by this performative macho mentality that refuses to acknowledge who its actual voters are (working aged women)
- Here’s my view: the Mandelson-Epstein crisis reveals a government fuelled by a masculinised realpolitik, responsible for successive failures of legitimacy and accountability. It’s time to put some women at the centre www.thenewworld.co.uk/zoe-grunewal...
- The two most successful progressive political projects in the anglosphere in the last decade were Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP, and no-one acknowledges that because they were both projects built around treating working-aged women as a core political and economic constituency

- It would be a repeat of the 2020 primaries, where the pundit class and large swathes of leftist posters just refused to acknowledge that black voters over fifty existed
- You can tell this is just a name recognition poll because it indicates that Pete Buttigieg and Cory Booker are going to be contenders which gets a “lol sorry not happening” from me
