Labour can put forward a costed manifesto with clear cut explanations of how they plan to achieve it and The tories who demonstrably fucked the lower classes since new labour lost power can say absolutely fuck all about what they'll do and literally the only thing we hear is "labour can't possibly do everything they promise, better stick with the tories".
Oh look the firefighters are here, but they've brought too many buckets with them, there's no way they can fill all of them with water, they probably wont even be able to put out all of us that are on fire. let's stick with the other group throwing petrol on us.

The Tories have been useless/dangerous when it comes to the internet. I.e., Cameron's plan to ban encryption and May's plan to give private companies power over porn access. But optics only apply to the left it seems. Everyone I spoke with seemed to agree that the idea of making the internet an essential service free to all was a good thing, but many would follow this up by saying "but other people won't see it that way, so it's a dumb policy." I can't help but feel we'd be better off it people spent more time discussing the details of policies instead of the perceived optics of them. It feels a bit cart-before-the-horse a lot of the time.
