good article about insulting voters |
So...a phrase in common parlance to describe voters voting against their own interests is bad, but the strawmanning of the left is good?
Since the election, Johnson has gone back on his pledge to protect workers rights in his deal, he's now put conditions on his hourly wage pledge, rips up his pledge to protect migrant children, is being promoted by the far right, he's about to redistrict voting areas to make sure the tories remain in power. All perfectly normal though.
