Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Labour is way past that. Kier Starmer has engorged himself with lobby funds so much he’s acting almost worse than the Conservative Party in the Uk.
Labour is a party of no one but capital.
And is literally eugenicist. What fucking “left wing”, party, cuts disability benefits, plunging an expected hundreds of thousands into poverty, than legalises assisted dying for disabled people. Within the same month.
That’s about as close to exterminating as you can get under neoliberal logic.
They all work for the same oligarchs. So it makes sense that core policy wouldn't change.
Jfc. Did this really just happen?
They made a slight change so that people with low levels of disability wouldnt get as much support and paired it with making getting a job not cut off all disability benifits immediately. When that change got huge amounts of pushback from labour MPs they watered it down. Then a private members bill (So coming from an individual MP) with no support from the government got passed allowing people who have less than six months to live get assistance in ending their own life if they get approval from a panel of a judge and care experts, that change has overwhelming support in the country.
The grandparent post is catastrophising.
The government’s own statistics showed it would drag 250’000 into poverty.
Please don’t minimise it. Losing PIP as a disabled person can kill. Ie. just one case of many
Even the UN and Amnesty International have condemned the cut is problematic source
So please don’t call disabled people who have very real concerns about their survival with this bill “catastrophising”.
The same research that you are quoting also said there were 200,000 who were willing and able to work but prevented from doing so as they would lose their benefits as a result. Not that it matters as the government backed down under pressure from its back benchers.
Trying to frame that as tantamount to exterminating is catastrophising.
The government hasn’t backed down. It passed the bill with a timing delay.
They are not going to be applying any changes to anyone currently on pip, I fail to see how that isn't backing down.
Even if they hadn't backed down, which they did, you would still be wrong to call it extermination.
So finally we have proof for what we already knew. It was democrats voting for Trump or staying home that lost the election.
Don't run a fascist next time I guess
I told them not to, but they did it anyways.
how the fuck did one of you wind up on "anarchist.nexus"?
edit: no covfefe yet, sorry comrade. you can probably see how I read that as being a votescold though.
related issue, it might be time for a purge of habitual downvoters in this community to pre-emptively cut back on invasive shitlibs. just an uncaffeinated thought though.
