Sounds like they were just hoping things would at least improve, which means not get actively worse nor remain strictly the same, but does not mean things become absolutely good and fixed. You’re the one putting “fundamental changes to how things are run” as their claim.

I found their comment quite helpful, and the content of the addition that labour may not do much better was also useful and fit in the framework they gave.

I don’t think the aggression was warranted or helpful, and only served to stagnate the discussion.

Lmfao, whatever makes you feel better and not have to confront realities that make you uncomfortable… 🙄

  Re: edit - you should actually read the article on what tone policing is in their conception and what is harmful about it, not all being called out for dickish replyguy behavior is tone policing. Frustration and aggression can be warranted, and is fine to express, but when all you’re doing is arguing with no cogent point (see: yelling into the void) and misinterpreting what someone is saying to the point of absurdity, aggression is being actively harmful to the discussion. That’s just being an ass for catharsis.
  
  And again, the point was to point out that the person you’re responding to did not say what you claimed they did, and that the addition about labour was helpful. You can be as frustrated and aggressive as you want about that, but this whole discussion could’ve been in agreement, you both appear to agree with each other on the meat of the politics.

    but this whole discussion could’ve been in agreement
    
    From my point of view it was, but if someone just wants to fight about something and be right, even if you’re agreeing, best just to move on with life and not waste time on it.
    
    Either way, predictions are not guaranteed, but looking optimistically forward to the election tomorrow.
    
    Cheers and enjoy your night/day.

  Huh?
  
  I mean… you are literally instead of discussing the politics of the UK, actively choosing to be antagonistic.
  
  And antagonistic in a way that I have literally no idea what you’re even trying to say, beyond wildly thrashing into the void.
