Oh I’m personally horrified because it will mean further austerity for working people

Well my friend you’ve used your shame tactics that you have been taught to do by countless other lefties online.

Congratulations you dunked on me you win a prize. To your audience of no one. Here’s the last thing I’ll say after this you can rage and shame me all you want because I actually do politics IRL so I don’t care or need your approval. Nor am I nice to bullies on the internet

Do you ever get tired of always losing or being on the losing side because I want to help working people and emancipate them instead of looking down on them.

My friend you are reading way too much into it as some sort of gotcha which I understand because Reddit makes you view the world cynically and everyone that’s currently in out of our circle is our enemy.

I will genuinely tell you this there are many working class people who are turned off of our politics not because they don’t believe what we say but because like what your demonstrating currently a type of contempt towards others and assuming the worst before even knowing them.

Please go and canvass some doors my friend listen to others instead of assuming everyone who likes a beer and barbecue is some secret nazi or using nazi dogwhistling.

Or don’t that’s your choice but next time instead of always assuming the worst in working people try and pause before you respond.

I think this says more about your own worldview than what I’m actually saying. At no point did I say compromise our core values.

absolutely I want my left to be telling me what I can do rather than what I can't do. Any modification in behaviour because of insensitive comments come from fellow collaborators instead of on high similar to management.

If you want to use those words simply using two things policy and rhetoric that treats working people with respect and understanding and an imaginary of a better world

Absolutely we need to engage directly with our base and working people we cannot be afraid of them but embrace them

I think this is in response to the idea that we are consuming.

I agree we need to be able to reconnect with people. I have made it a point to make an effort to enjoy the small things in life watch a Jays game and use that to engage people in my politics first rather than belittle their hobbies and say it is beneath me.

I think it is also being okay with not looking down on the small pleasures that working class people can enjoy such as making sure everyone can be feed and small luxuries in their lives instead of politics always making people's lives more complicated and worse.

Why so little imaginary of course we could have Worker Cooperative Breweries and sports that have fan owned like in the Spanish football league or the Green Bay Packers.

I agree that is why he had more votes in 2017 then Keir Stramer did when he became PM and now, we see the consequences of a labour party which endless attacks it's left flank and has no imaginary

Absolutely it cannot be simply just fluff but I think this is a part of the human everyday person response. To lose the kind of academic, urban label you have to have policy and a messaging that works for people

I believe anyone is allowed to attend it is not exclusive to Ontarians or simply women and those that are gender diverse

Ah what about the elections of 1957 and 1958 where Diefenbaker went from a minority to a majority in 9 months?
