Do not give into cynicism

Do not give into helplessness

And fucking show up to #vote in the 2026 #midterms

ESPECIALLY SHOW UP IN THE #PRIMARIES

where we can get more lefty #candidates

If people sleep on the #generalelection too much, the primaries are a fucking ghost town, and that is a painfully disgusting shame

Continued thread

Things have become worse than they were a year ago. Housing has now gone from crisis to emergency. There is 40% youth unemployment. The politicians have publicly flip flopped on the tough choices. Income tax thresholds have been left too low and those making the decisions have failed to tax the rich who are driving the massive and unsustainable rises in inflation. With new laws nobody asked for, it's obvious that people who voted in the #GENERALELECTION last year expected so much better

Jang Dong-hyuk, a candidate for People Power Party leader, pledged sweeping personnel reforms and a nomination system rewarding only those who confront the Democratic Party, vowing bold innovation and talent development ahead of South Korea's next general election.

The SNP needs a revival, selling out to organisations who do not have #Scotland’s best interests at heart is no the way to go.

Holyrood elections here we come.

>> The ruling centre-right coalition Democratic Alliance (AD/PSD-CDS) remained the strongest political force in #Portugal, with 32% of votes won in the Sunday general election.

>> With 99% of the vote counted, far-right party Chega, which earned 22,56%, has managed to nearly become the second-strongest party in the country, nearing the Socialist Party (PS) which won 23,38% of the vote. Both parties will have the same number of seats in the new parliament, 58.

>> Without a majority of seats the Democratic Alliance, led by the Social Democratic Party, can try to recruit support from smaller parties, currently seen as unlikely, or take office as a minority government as it did during its last term…
