Andrew Goldstone<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lrt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lrt</span></a> Liberal orgs turning out their retiree loyalists. Maybe "hands off" is a bad slogan for organizing younger cohorts because their reliance on public services is less palpable (Submerged State, q.v.).…though the pandemic response should have changed that. The enormity of the liberal-to-left coordination failure right now remains hard to understand.</p>

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾<p>A little amused by this reaction video by Indonesians because I didn't think this was such an extraordinary thing 😅.
