@annaf@climatejustice.social yeah, the fallacy of false equivalence I guess If we don't talk left vs right, like they're opposing teams in some game, but we talk good vs evil instead, then this annoying phenomenon maybe will go away?

@iwein@mas.to @annaf@climatejustice.social I think what the Green Part and Reform _do_ have in common is that they both acknowledge life is hard for most people in the UK, and say they're going to try and make things better. Whereas the Labour party is basically saying "look, things are going to get worse for us all but less so than they would under to Tories" and the Tories are saying "actually things are going fine for us", neither of which are particularly inspiring to voters. The difference of course is that Reform follows that up with "the reason things are bad is immigrants so we'll get rid of them". Whereas the Greens are going "Look shall we just give progressive taxation and investment in public services a try?"
