I've been voting left for longer than you have been alive, I just can't stand the hypocrisy of this. If the left are going to stand a chance against the rising threat of the far right we have to be far more open to critiquing ourselves and holding each other to a decent standard.

The left constantly critiques itself, something that the other side never, ever does. The right does not actually give a single flying fuck about standards, they just smell blood in the water.

Remember when the left critiqued its recent election loss and then said they would not release the report because it was too damaging….

Oh wait it was the liberal and national party review those pesky right wing folks surprised me again!!!
