Recently the UK elected a Labour government in a massive landslide, but polls before and after the election showed that main reason people were voting Labour was to get the Tories out (in contrast to previous polls preceding the last time Labour was elected). This time, it was a clear case of beating the greater evil.
I'm envious of the enthusiasm that I'm seeing around the US election due to Harris, but it's nice to see people's optimism, even if it's bittersweet.
This batch of labour politicians also suck though, unfortunately.
