  • The lesson for Democrats is surely that after years and years of telling anyone they could find that had concerns about society “oh you must be a literal Nazi, cope harder la la la la whoop whoop air high fives and fist bumps that’s roiiight ma BOI!” at some point these people are going to turn around and say “well ok then, I just won’t vote for you because you have nothing to offer me”.

    I’m not saying the Republican party has done this any better, but surely insulting potential voters en masse and refusing to understand their concerns isn’t a sensible way to win elections. I didn’t work for Hilary either, and it hasn’t worked for Harris.







  • I never saw the article as anything more than a sarcastic opinion piece. They’re not calling on the chancellor to reverse the budget. They’re not pointing to business opposition. They’re not saying anything but haven’t an armchair moan in, what looks like to me, a light-hearted opinion piece.

    But fair enough if others see it differently. I certainly didn’t.



  • I feel… and hear me out… you’re taking this opinion piece too seriously. Read it like you’d read a Spectator article (and I very much appreciate you might read the Spectator). These are meant to be tongue in cheek. They’re not meant to be taken seriously or over analysed.

    Could you imagine being this put out about the guardian opinion pieces?
