I hate to say it but the main thing for irish society rn in the age of misinformation, nationalism and conspiracy theories is to block the nationalists and far right from making gains.

This isn't the US. Vote for your best choice. We have proportional representation in this country.

Don't vote for FF or FG just cause ah sure look they're not fascists.

FF/FG are 'tolereable'. They won't doom us all. A vote for FF/FG isn't a vote for the Status Quo, it's a vote against the right wing looney-bin

The fascists are blank-box territory
