I don't understand this response - it's ok for people in one party to say whatever they want and it doesn't count because someone else 'distances' themselves? It was still said - the damage is still done to the level of civility and more hatred was thrown into the fire.
- permo-w 4y agoyou’re cherrypicking right-wing talking points to support an argument that doesn’t have much evidence
- chrisseaton 4y ago> you’re cherrypicking right-wing talking points In your first comment you said you thought the right-wing party weren't talking like this! No I think the problem is just as bad across all parties - hence those recent examples from a couple of moderate left-wing party members as well. That's the worst of it - the civility and willingness to work together is down across the board so I can't see a change of government improving it either.
- permo-w 4y agoeach of the examples you’ve given were and currently are being endlessly rerun and reran in the media. condemned by allies and discussed ad nauseum. this is hardly routine, normalised behaviour you can point to and say “this is representative of the whole”
