    Justice would be (just for a meagre start) ending and reversing the crackdown on protesters, and then also passing laws protecting speech and protest generally. Anything less continues to be ruinous.

      It is a perfect example of a centrist who desires to manage the status quo rather than make any structural changes approximating a position between two perceived “extremes” that does not exist and building out a rationale to support that political position in a way that makes it glaringly obvious to everyone else that they are speaking for a political demographic that does not exist.

      I can see his heroic speech now “I DISAGREE with what Israel is doing to Palestinians but now is NOT the time for disagreement and division between us!” Burnham will say triumphantly as he desperately tries to become specific enough as a human being for anybody to remember past the posh thick rimmed glasses guy who ran interference to facilitate Genocide as prime minister that came after the other posh thick rimmed glasses guy who ran interference to facilitate Genocide as prime minister.

      It is like how women can pause their pregnancies for 100 days if they need to… I think?

      I don’t know, this stuff is all so complicated.
