Shiro Sirius: LRT don’t let doomerism defeat you, even a small step in the right direction is better than nothing at all

LRT don’t let doomerism defeat you, even a small step in the right direction is better than nothing at all

Do what you need to do now, push for improvements on Friday Labour, LD, Greens all malleable I feel, and will certainly be more receptive than any of the right-wing parties Democracy is not a one-off event every five years - it’s something we can and should participate in every day

Yeah, this is exactly it, it’s okay to celebrate the small victories as long as you don’t just call it job done

Yep, I’m not happy with some key positions, but I do have influence once they are elected. We all do. I fully intend to use that to further the causes I believe in Tomorrow is one stop on a journey, not the final destination

Christ there are so many people who really should know better who cannot grasp this for the life of them

I genuinely think a lot of people have wrapped themselves in a kind of protective cynicism

Which ironically is a coat of thorns and just makes everyone around them feel miserable

The doomerism is really getting me today

Honestly I think the complete lack of enthusiasm for Starmer's Labour even after everything we've been through should be enough to make him resign. This election should be a bouyant, joyous celebration of change and it feels more like a funeral for hope. I'll be voting Green in a Labour safe.

It’s why I keep as many political words and names as I can muted Not for lack of caring but for my own benefit

This is what I think a lot of people miss. The Tories believe in their right to rule so they will not listen. They answer to their donors and tiny membership. Labour's membership is comparatively large and filled with more ordinary folks.

This exactly, it’s a good point

I'm very angry with Starmer especially right now, but also I'm in a safe tory seat which looks like might flip and I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to reconcile these things.
