Alex,
@Alex The discussion here needs to be had, but I'd really like to move it elsewhere. All I need is the "Other Stuff" section renamed and I can do the rest (I think)
I was Left too - back in the days where the number one imperative was to avoid war. I think many Left people are well meaning, bu they tend to excuse the Democrat excesses and think they won't happen, do they really want:
1) A party that has deliberately selected a senile man as their candidate to be president?
2) No police or justice system.
3) Probably another foreign war or two.
4) Endless, endless spending - which means endless borrowing, which means huge tax rises in due course.
I want an end of racism - but for me, that means a society in which everyone is treated equally, except that those from disadvantaged communities would be given extra coaching to try to bring them up to scratch.

Yes, I thought that promise could not last, but that is OK - just avoid resorting to dodgy language :)As someone who considers themselves of the left, I hear you. Still, to my mind, the toxic 'woke' brigade is currently engaged in an ideological hostile takeover of traditionally liberal/left institutions. We should not let this happen. If we do, the left is done, imo. It's been going on for years, of course, but this is the big one.
Damn, I said I wasn't going to do politics on this forum anymore. *Sigh*
