At this point I'm confused.

I'll have to do my own research into this it seems.

He has had an unfortunate start so far, so I can understand your stance.

Hopefully Starmer can get a hold of how to handle the rampant violence in our cities, something that the Tory Government was really poor at addressing.

I knew who he was before the election. I repeatedly pointed it out on the forum.

Tbf, I know you did.

Tbh this country is in a terrible spot, because our two main parties are terrible at the moment.

The right of the labour party worked against the last hope for this country (Corbyn). We didn't need to have more austerity, and we didn't need to take money away from pensioners. The super wealthy are laughing all the way to the bank.

We don't have 2 parties anymore; we have the same party but with 2 different colours.

No. I vote in the Republican open primary as an Independent for local policy only and then sift through whatever my options are in the General. I only vote in national out of civic duty. However, if someone took both local and national and put them on two separate ballots and asked me to show up on a different day, I'd be very tempted not to show at all to the national one just to show how little I feel about it... My political views haven't shifted really post-Trump. Most everyone I've asked doesn't feel enthusiastic at all (one can even say somewhat there's a feeling of contempt) but vote out of duty. Seeing the signs come out and people showing their respective flare is the most interesting part of our political culture (and the process) and I take pride in this, but for actual voting, I'd rather just get it over with... I've lived enough to know that no matter which party is in charge nothing will actually change and that at the national level it's all about how to keep the public grift going.

That's how it's coming across to me as well.

I can't help but feel like this country is a lost cause for at least another decade, which is frightening as some of us aren't getting any younger, and I want some of my young adult years to actually be decent.

It'll die down post-elections. Most of those calls are coming from overseas. We always seem to get a rash of **** running up to the elections. If you pick through X at all, there's still many accounts that crosspost and repeat verbatim the same rhetoric across the platform. Elon Musk got rid of some bots, but he didn't get them all... apparently. I barely use the site, because I don't trust it.

Why won't they be?

Because America essentially rules the western world, and they keep electing barmy leaders.

And the UK keeps electing leaders that certainly don't help my life out in the slightest, or the rest of my family.

What precisely is likely to stop you living your best life?

Our lives didn't used to depend so much on chosen leaders to keep a (generally speaking) reasonable cost of living. It's by design to keep people voting for a broken system.

Well you don't have the finances to do what you necessarily want to do, if the country (or the world) has a rough economy, or just being penny pinchers.

That's true tbf.

I just feel like Politics is really broken at this point, I feel dejected.

Today on TiBB I learned that mass deportation would, inexplicably, be a random montage of 3 or 4 films from the 80's.

And that's not even the dumbest thing I've ever seen on here. Mind-blowing.

At least the conspiracy capital of the world is consistent. Americans are now saying that Trump staged both assassination attempts :laugh:

…oh Lord, I don’t want to know ‘the dumbest thing’….

What are peoples thoughts on the north carolina governor candidate Mark Robinson? :laugh:

Prolific poster on a black porn site

He has said and posted some really depraved stuff, too explicit for this forum

Your bio of him here reads like that of the typical terminally online internet male (ie troll). One wrong move and his harddrive could need some checks.
