Looks like Anas Sarwar is going full transhpobe in an effort to win in Holyrood. Time to stand up against hate.

Anyone have a good guide on how to get the most pro indy and actually left leaning people into Holyrood this May? (I'm thinking it might be SNP in the constituency and@ScottishGreens@mastodon.scot on the regional list)

@otfrom Fuck's sake. But not that surprising, weren't they sucking up to JKR at the last election?

@semanticist at least he is clear about the side the head office has told him to pick

@otfrom This does raise a question for my 'terf or not' project: should I count statements like that by the party leader as an individual as being the same as party policy (and therefor adding to the 'terf score' of every candidate for that party)? I'm thinking yes, since a vote for a rando Labour MSP is a vote to make Sarwar first minister, in effect.

@semanticist but the scoring methodology needs to be clear
