+1. I am on the left, but I can meet in the middle with a fiscal conservative. Wouldn't like having one in power, but I can live with it.

Social conservatives though? As a trans person, and looking at what's going on south of the border and in the UK, I consider social conservatives to be an existential threat.

I wish we had a legitimately multi-party system that didn't encourage all the conservatives to be under the same umbrella; I would feel a lot safer.

Okay, as someone born in 1988, I am not an elder (but also I will accept you being kind to me please, thank you 🫠)
