Yusuf is going to bring up "dangerous language" against reform, so he needs to be rebuttled with Reforms celebration of Lucy Connoly and subsequent hotel fires & Reform Councillors being arrested including threats to Starmer. Also Reforms DOGE has been a failure! m.youtube.com/watch?v=SonH...

Nope 2000 was the supreme court however much the Dems may complain. 2016 came about from poor campaigning in key battleground states & American public wanting something different from Obama's neoliberalism & saw Clinton as a continuation of that, she failed to turn enough independents into Dem votes

Exactly, which is why I stated above they have zero electoral impact, they're a waste of time.

@sassybluesgirl.bsky.social Hi Susan, this is about the British Green Party. Here's a map of the world so you can see that the United Kingdom and the United States are in fact 2 seperate countries.

@m4a1960.bsky.social do you have any evidence for how this BRITISH political party in the UK is funded by rich American Republican organisations?

How will a British leftwing political party focusing on elections in the United Kingdom, help the American Republican Party to stay in power? I look forward to your reply!

Hilarious how you yanks still think your green party have any electoral impact. Gore didn't lose because of Nader, that was the supreme court. Clinton didn't lose because of Stein, that was your ridiculous electoral college. Harris lost the popular vote &EC & many demographics, not because of greens

Days after we revealed that it had been months since Farage last updated his register, he has done so - adding £190,000 worth of earnings going back as far as early May in some cases

The update is registered 3rd Oct - the day we went to his team for a right of reply

Random democratic voters criticizing something a republican said generated more cries from the right over the “loss of free speech” than this surely will:

feels like it should be a big deal that the president is directing the invasion of american cities based on what are almost certainly AI videos shown to him by his staff

maybe one of our ostensible news organizations could track down exactly what it is that he's seeing

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Dems somehow lost the messaging war on which party is full of pedophiles and if they can't win THAT one then I have no hope of them winning any of them. We just have to hope enough voters are mad because people aren't voting for a Democrat so much as against Trump.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.
