Reasoned contradiction welcomed & not personalised.
The strongest motive seems to be a pro-Israel default, with a fear of being seen as anti-Semitic.
A continuing lack of acknowledgement of the distinction between religion & State, in both support & criticism.
Consequently, Muslims are part of those opposing or being victims of State actions.

I hope you're not turning right-wing, but the worrying aspect is, that people support principles like public ownership of essential utilities & services, but use a vote to protest/support parties that are ideoligally opposed.
So KS being worse than Tory PMs feeds into that.

That resembles reasoning that possibly contributes to group-think leading to election of worse choices, e.g.Trump versions.
Holistic view needs considering by most before voting.
Plenty to criticise KS for; Labour trying to appease instead of justify principles? But others aim to profit from damage.

Most voters fear threats of low growth & non maximisation of profits regardless of cost to others, more than loss of universal benefits from a State acting directly in our interests. On trust of authority.
Trust & quality degrading, taking social cohesion & democracy with them.
Educate & question.

I'd like ministers & opposition politicians to be aware of this before pressurising authorities.

Another boost for profiteers who lack innovation, at expense to society. Increasing inequality, which exacerbates multiple crises.
Govt should tax excessive wealth (to discourage harmful activity & support universal services) & regulate for sustainable conditions for everyone (inc. the wealthy).

Thanks for the updates this season, allowing me to plan a move from twitter.

Arguably, the current political choices are down to many variables & events; significantly, the results of the referendums, rejecting AV & EU cooperation.

With the bad continuing to increase power for people who, without care for adverse effects on everyone, exploit the general population.
With the good unable to match the effects of disinformation in manipulating democratic & market systems.

Where inequality has produced an oligarchy that has power in political legislation, consumerism, media output & influence over regulations & policing.
Where social media age promised good and has resulted in extremes of good & bad.

Trump's vanity is displayed & seems to take priority (motivating him to back up Vance in taking offence), over his stated altruistic peace seeking mission.

Last 7 mins of a 49 min event reflect appallingly on Trump & Vance. A portrayal of premeditated stitching up of Zelenskyy.
In contrast, the full interaction includes respectful acknowledgements from Trump & Zelenskyy, until Vance twists & insults, with Trump backing instead of shutting him up
